So long, Bangkok

We are now waiting at the airport for our flight to Chiang Mai. Yesterday we visited a huge flower market which was really more like the whole neighborhood. It wasn’t as cool as it sounds, but still interesting. Then we took a canal tour on a longboat, which was, frankly, pretty sketchy. It was a bit of a rip off in that they weren’t completely honest with us. Also, it wasn’t really fun…but that said, I’m glad we did it. It showed us a different side of Bangkok, and felt authentic-Ostentatious Wats juxtaposed with falling down shacks along the canals, numerous water monitors-they must get into houses there frequently (said as shivers run down her spine). In the evening, we had a fantastic meal at a Korean barbecue in Korea Town, and walked through the Terminal 21 Mall, a very cool mall where each floor was decorated like a different world city-Paris, London,Istanbul, San Fran, etc. My photos were disappointing. Didn’t catch anything well yesterday.もっと詳しく
