Two weeks ago I was at this small Korean eatery in Bangkok, enjoying a fantastic meal. 

Throughout the meal though I was intrigued by the young lady at the counter who was glued to her computer screen.  From her actions, I could tell she was browsing a lot, typing in stuff, then sitting back and reviewing it, and smiling. Then back to more writing.  And smiling. I told my husband then she looks like a blogger!

When we walked over to the counter to pay for our meal, I couldn't resist peeping at her screen ... and what I saw there looked so much like a blog ... except it was in a language I couldn't understand.  So curious me asked her what it was that she was doing, and she said she said "blog" !  I was thrilled - there I was, a visitor from India in Bangkok, meeting a Korean blogger .  So unexpectedly.  She spoke very little English and I speak no Korean .... still we smiled warmly almost as if we were sharing a secret of sorts. 

She then pointed to the right panel and showed me a list there and said "friends in Korea - we talk too", holding up her hand to her ear, and I immediately recalled having read somewhere about a deal between Daum and Skype, and was curious to know whether she had something like a Skyperoll on her blog from which she could call any of her friends.  I said the word Skype to her with a questionmark but she didn't seem to have heard of it.  We exchanged email ids, blog urls, smiled again and then I left.  Of course Hemant got the brunt of beaming "would you believe its...." all day from me!
