Chilled out day

Woke up after a little lie and headed to shower, unfortunatly Chris had beaten me there and used all the hot water! Grr! after a brief cold shower we moved all the other things from upstairs down like the TV and the other computer.
I am hoping to setup the desktop here as a wireless router for the single wired network connection we have, lucky i brought my own USB wireless card!! Unfortunatly I can't get this machine to stay up long enough to do anything, I made a linux boot USB but it crashes out after 10 minutes, I suspect it is only USB 1 and that's not really good enough. 

Trying to make either machine work I had both in pieces stretched out across the lounge mixing and matching the pieces to make one that even beeped!

After messing with it some more and deciding we needed some food we headed out into town for a walk.
First we walked to the station and found out where that was, nearly dying in the process on the crazy roads, it's like crossing the motorway as it is three lanes each way and infrequent breaks in traffic, you just have to wait and be patient, madness!
The station is about three streets down, around 15 minutes walk, not bad and in the sun and slight warmth a great little walk.

We then headed into town for some food and Chris spotted a small place with lots of locals, we went in an this time ordered three nice dishes, a bacon and peppers in black bean sauce, a chicken (with bits of bone) in another sauce, and a plate of small fried eggs, with two bowls of rice and two beers.
When we came to pay after this tasty meal the total cost was...35kwai. £3.50 for two meals and drinks!! we will be visiting there again!
Also we spotted that out the back of our room is a little bar with a pool table, nice for the summer to relax!

Did some shopping on the way back and bought many random food things while we are in the process of finding ones we like.

Watched a film in the evening and tried some frozen rice balls with peanut butter, or at least thats what I think they were, but they were also very nice.

Going to try and head back to hangzhou tomorrow!
