Our Gadgets

Further research into the concept of "flashpacking" and I found this:

"The term flashpackers has also come to denote backpackers carrying expensive electronic gear"

Mark has been eyeing the PSP for a while now... When he found out that we would be on the bus for several hours at a stretch, for a few days, it appeared to be sufficient justification for him to get a PSP. So a PSP he got...

It was a Sunday evening, we'd just got back from dinner. I was out in the hallway playing with Missy the chinchilla, and suddenly this yelling starts in the living room. "Ah, I've just been outbid, what do I do, what do I do? Ah, ah, I can't take this anymore!" - The joys of ebay-ing!

So he bought his PSP, and subsequently bought the accessories to go with it. There's now a pile of "presents" waiting for him in the bay window. I nearly brought out the Christmas tree so I could pile them underneath.

As for me, I've bought myself a cool new camera! Unfortunately my camera got held for customs charges, and I am still waiting for it to turn up. A spiffy Canon Powershot A710 IS, wahey!

I might draw up an electronics/gadgets inventory before we leave just for a laugh. Watch this space...
