melbournebetta Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sarah, If you're talking about SHOPPING-shopping I didn't buy too much - I made a point of having first and second lunch, and first and second dinner..... ! Although the entire country is geared to market selling and tourism, there wasn't much for me. However I did buy some kooky contemporary jewellery - and spent a little bit too much on some traditional hilltribe silver (like - MASSIVE necklaces - i can't walk with them on) But if you're talking about fishy purchases - welllllllllllllllllllllll you'll have to wait! I bought a few bits n bobs. I'm being a good girl and writing up all my experiences into a whopping article with pics and stuff.... also showing through all the betta farms - sooooo many photos and so much info to remember, but I learnt a lot and want to share it with y'all. So hopefully in the next day or two it'l be finished and I can post! xx Ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I was talking about fishy purchases... non-fish-related-shopping didn't even cross my mind! Gosh, I had forgotten there WAS non-fishy-related shopping for a sec there. Can't wait to read the article - sounds very informative. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hahahah I think I knew that about the shopping question! heheheh Suprising tho, it's VERY hard to concentrate in that intense heat, be polite, try to understand accents and Thai language, look at form through dimly lit tanks, and wrestle with narrowing it down when there are literally HUNDREDS of fish in front of you. I went against all the rules I's set about buying. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 That's the problems with common names. What I call a tomato clown is actually called a marron clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
