NOVEMBER

Car costing more than the house.

So I am looking for one of two brands of cars from Atlantis City a bit north of Bangkok and then there is no more city and no more cars.

 Thats mainly why the purchase of the Space Mobil.

Ford Fiesta S  2011 1.6L 120hp

Remember this is supposed to be an economical car.
So trying it out is full of surprises first off the seats pumps up or down steering wheel tilts already a dilemma , choices.
Turn on the key the whole instrument panel lights up one window outdoor temp. and odometer the other screen time and
date these are just the initial things the screens does.
Then there is the radio with a keyboard 5 functions 10 stations buttons plus the normal playing and sound buttons .

 Too make it more difficult there is also voice control. All of this I don't understand a few basic things only that's it.
There is also a Bluetooth phone connection hand free you have to learn the voice controls.
Otherwise you dial and answer as normal but talk over the Bluetooth thing.
It is an automatic that I master but they have screwed up the turn and light switches changed sides for them .
The steering wheel does not really have any weirdo things only volume controls
Gives me fuel ,trip ,tank odometer updates.
Too modern and gadgetry for me , I have not even mastered the remote key fully 1 out of 3 I make perfect.
Also it runs on E20 friendly gas but here there is no such thing here closes is 50km, no problem it can take anything but who goes out and check what gas they sell in the neighborhood.
I am waiting for a manual in a language that I understand because they only have thai here.
Of course I did not pay that kind of money I bought used 10000 km what used to be  broken in period years ago, I also got very good trade in money for my 6000$ car after 13 months I only lost 1600$ that is amazing a 13 year old car.

Otherwise everything is the same some flowers stops and some starts even though it is 18-21 degrees night time.

I should probably try to find something interesting to write about , but here in the country there is not  much planting rice watch it grow that is the life cycle here.

There is one thing that the most sophisticated big city system cannot beat gossip

And the loudest and quickest of them all , death , which is announced with 3 thunderous rockets.

The garden guy is coming over so trimming and cutting bushes and trees plus setting up a shading net over the pond and the orchid area I cannot go up I am suffering from vertigo plus I am not flexible enough to climb around on a scaffolding like construction.
