Paying for accomodation

I've just extend my credit card financial amount to 50,000 THB. This is the preparation of reserving accomodation which will cost 250 £. This deposit will be returned upon the finish of the contact (i.e. next year).

I aim to choose following houses:

1. Richmond
2. Morgan Court
3. Holland Annexe

This because I want the en-suite, e.g. bath-room included in the room, and a place not far from George Square.

Choosing T-Shirt

Fabirc: [t-shirt-buyers-guide.org]


The figure on top is Combed Cotton Fibers. The figure at the bottom is Carded Cotton Fibers. The firs one is more preferable because the longer, thinner, more even fiber is knitted. It is softer and lighter. In addition the printability of the combed cotton (figure below on the left) is more ideal.

Shrinking: [t-shirmart.com]

• Cotton polyester blend will shrink less than 100% cotton

• Heavyweight t-shirt will shrink less than lightweight

Tips:

• The Quality printed t-shirt to resist fading at least through 36 washes. To minimize fading, turn garments inside out while washing and drying. [t-shirmart.com]
  

Pilling:
The appearance of little bumps of fibers on the surface of the garment. Pilling only occurs on shirts knitted with a cotton polyester yarn.

Annoying group mail

Some EuMI seniors mentioned about annoying group mail because 2007's conversations.. Their opinion, I respect.

Anyway, I use "daily digest", so I got only an e-mail a day. Quite comfortable, isn't it?
