how come every city you go you see the same thing? traffic signs, roads, billboards all look the same. regardless of U.S or Asia. What corner of the world do you have to crawl to to see something different?
city is eerily dark. all the skyscrapers are dark. city is quiet.
Oh wait.... here we go... sukhumvit road. 1am Sunday what are all these people doing on the streets? who goes shopping for clothes at this hour? There is food everywhere... on bikes, on motorbikes, plastic chairs setup on sidewalks, mini restaurants. wait what was that street? one full block filled with neon lights, women, bars. Oh our hotel... finally our hotel... sleep.
6:15AM. It's morning. Finally exploration. I think this may be one of those corners of the world. Thai people are NICE. Damn it is hot & sweaty here. and the motorbikes, they are everywhere. morning rush hour and it is crazy busy. culture shock. off to the grand palace. this is overwhelming. so much gold, so much detail, so beautiful. temples and buddhas are awesome. thank god for everything in english. again, food is everywhere, only thing they do is eat? wait Thai people aren't so nice.... tuk-tuk leaves us.... thai center aka government scam.
it's lunch. we eat pad thai + coca-cola, Gai + fanta. cheap 226 baht, roughly 7 bucks (and we are in the tourist area).

we visit the emerald buddha, standing buddha (release birds), mountain temple,Wat Po & leaning buddha (that sound is lovely... coins dropped in bowls), Wat Arun (treacherous climb). we ride tuk-tuks, water taxis, try street food. still hot. drivers are crazy. Matt will have good luck & happiness in life forever. free the birds. cats with chopped off tails.
Exhausted. hotel with rooftop pool. Ahhh. Order 4 Mai Thais + dinner all at once. server is confused were are your friends. no friends these mai thais are just for us. in bed by 8:30.
