How to spot a Jasper X360?
Let’s go straight to the point. To identify a Jasper set, please look out for :
Power Brick
DC output : 150w
Voltage (at the back of console)
12V / 12.1A
Manufacturing Date (at the back of console)
To be safe, October 2008 onwards

Why Jasper? It uses less power, runs cooler and claimed to kill off RROD. Good luck!

Bangkok’s Wats
You can cover The Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun in a day, as they are near to each other.
The Grand Palace
We started about 11am, took a cab straight to The Grand Palace. The fare costs about 80 baht (from Sukhumvit to Grand Palace area). Reached there about 30 minutes, the sky is clear and weather is hot!
Walkway to the ticketing counter
What a scenery..
The entrance ticket costs 350 baht per person, i guess they increased the price. Oh, well…

Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. To get there, just walk to Chetuphon road (about 10 minutes walk from Grand Palace). The entrance fee is 50 baht.

The ruins of Angkor are located amid forests and farmland to the north of the Great Lake (Tonle Sap) and south of the Kulen Hills, near modern day Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Year : January 2009

Tonle Sap Lake
Tonle Sap is Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake. Flooding during the rainy season each year reverses the flow of the Tonle Sap River and triples the surface area of the lake. Large areas of grassland and forest are flooded, creating a highly productive area that supports one of the largest freshwater fisheries in the world.
Location
Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia
