An Afternoon Meetup

I did something intensely personal this morning and as of now I'm not sure I am willing to share it publicly.

After that activity, we chilled for a while at our hotel before heading out to Central Embassy on Sukhumvit Road to meet with Jordan, who was one of Jeff's divers in Maryland in 2010-2012. We spent over two hours catching up with him. This was the first and only high end mall we visited on this trip, and Jeff felt like he had stepped into another world as it was so different from the street level sights we have seen.

Our original plan for the evening had been to go to Rajadamnern Stadium to watch muay thai, but I was still feeling a little overwhelmed (in a good way) from my morning's activity, so I begged off and suggested we dine at Phed Mark again, which Jeff readily agreed to. We took the BTS to Ekkamai, ate our dinner, and then made our way back to Silom. I had thought about going to Asia Books after dinner, but it slipped my mind. Back when I lived in Bangkok, Asia Books was an oasis of calm where I would retreat to find English language publications.

At Silom, we had ice cream at Swensen's again, and I purchased one last mango sticky rice to eat in our room. With that, we packed our bags and turned in because we have an early start tomorrow for our long journey home.Read more
