| Van Bangkok-April2009 |
Never ever in our whole life we would have expected to see a living deer on the streets of Bangkok! Well, today was the day! We went to the Sony Center (my Vaio has sound problems) to check if they could be of help (they will, we'll go back there tomorrow) and after stepping out of the taxi, and proceeding to the entrance door, The Bangkok Deer looked us in the eye! Woohoo, for a moment we thought we were beamed up to the German Forests! What an "Aha Erlebnis" !!!
And it was hot today, my dear, so hot, that even the locals were suffering and fanning themselves and sweating like never before. In this heat, it's impossible to start a revolution :-)
After our Sonyvisit (I was quite impressed by their professionalism, Japan clearly has a good influence on Thailand), we strolled to the nearby Wat Mai Chong Lom. The word "Mai" can have 4 meanings in Thai language, so I'm not guessing which one it is in the name of this temple! Very nice, but urgent renovation required, and it looks they are going to do it.
Then back to the hotel, by taxi ... if we find one! The first empty taxi stops, but the driver doesn't like to bring us where we want to be, he mumbles something about "traffic jam" and drives away. The second one is more kind, at least he admits not knowing where our hotel is. No problem, I'll show him the way! A swift ride :-)
A short rest, and hop hop hop shopping time! To ZEN now, once again by the SkyWalk. Buying underwear (what they have here, we don't find in Belgium) and a gift for Alyssa (a very cute black purse from HL's favorite designer ... guess who she is? Does VW sounds a bell other then VolksWagen?).
The evening will be filled with our usual routine: swimming, enjoying the lounge, watching a movie/DVD. I hope you enjoy the evening as much as we do !!!
huggies,
PB
