HIGHLIGHTS FROM BANGKOK
:: Traditional Thai massage at the Buddhist temple "Wat Po"; lying under fans in a quiet yellow room
:: Zooming around the streets at night in a tuk-tuk (even though we knew we were being overcharged)
:: Seeing "Kill Bill 2" in the 7-story ultra-modern steel and glass MBK shopping center. During the previews, everyone stood for the King's anthem
:: Sitting in Padpong with Tony Marshall, a lounge singer from Aruba, watching the lady-boys strut out of the bars at 2am
:: A bicycle tour of the royal island and temples at night. We sat in front of a towering golden buddha while worshippers chanted.
:: Erik's tailor-made suit.
:: Wandering the late-night flower markets. Miles of roses, exotic varieties, and meticulously arranged religious garlands.
:: A boat ride through the floating markets of Damnoen Saduak, to the south.
:: FOOD! Lebanese street food; American breakfast on Kaosan; Traditional Thai overlooking the river; Japanese noodles at Grand Ramen; Erik eating a fried cockroach and scorpion; plenty of fruit shakes.
