No ocean within miles of us samiley, but we do have the Mekhong & Mun rivers nearby, & a big reservoir with a beach- good for a swim. Internet, theres a CDMA tower not far- apparently theres a pretty good chance I can connect through there which should be OK- faster than dial up, but not as good as ADSL. Otherwise it's Ipstar, which is bluddy expensive & unreliable- but better than nothing.
Yeh, the Isaan people, fresh air and open spaces are great- and Ubon city is 30km, so not too far for the odd night out in the big smoke. I reckon I'll like it up there but if it doesn't work out can always move back to civilisation.
