Day 6/7 - Bangkok

Sorry guys, but there will be no pictures for a bit since I can't upload any photos. So you will have to wait until technology and I reconcile.

Anyway, Bangkok is AMAZING!

Since Bangkok has a famous weekend market, and it was the weekend, we just had to go shopping (which i'm sure you can understand) :-) . Also the market is sooooo big we just had to spend the day there :-) . It was a tough day. When I say the market is big though that is an understatement! We started looking at one end and decided to be quite methodical and just do one isle after another. A solid plan, if it doesn't take you forever to walk the length of one isle, and if you don't get distracted by the cutest puppies in the world being sold in the middle of the market. I won't say anymore since i'm sure stories of us shopping isn't going to thrill you much. Still, we had a great day.

In the evening we met up with a friend who lives in Bangkok and she took us out to dinner. The restaurant is called Yum & Tum, and it was apparently very authentic Thai food. It was odd, but still good :-)

Day 7 was yet again more shopping as we went into the heart of Bangkok. Amongst all the gigantic, standard style, shopping malls is Platinum. Another shopping mall in a way but it has stalls rather than separate shops, a floor for each item (clothes, bags, shoes), and you pay one tenth of normal prices. Needless to say we had another lovely day :-)
