Bangkok

Regarding the stay in thailand it was great!! It was quite short only 2 days but taking in account we were all anxious to get down under it was enough. Bangkok is definatley a city i did not like, it was polluted, caotic, crowded and just not my style. I choose Delhi as a better city... :D Anyways, after our arrival we went to have a walk around the center were we founda bunch of shops in the streets, basically markets that sold everything at the best prices ever. I told my self i would buy the puma shoes i like the day after but the next day those shops were gone :( luckily i got my watch there for 3 euros haha i wonder how long its gona last! And as far as it goes the watch is a bit too big for me so ill have to do something to it which will cost me more than 3 euros...I wanted to buy some jeans but of course thai girls are like 20 sizes smaller than me so at the shops they kept laughing at me. "Excuse me do you have my size?" " hahaha NO".. im not joking they were literarily laughing at me,but at the end one of them said they did have the size, hurray!. The most funny parts about the malls were the "dolls" that the shops have and dress up to show what they sell...here are some of them, i find them HILARIOUS.


But anyways it wasnt all about shopping,that was only for a short while. We visited the golden buddha and the famous buddha that is laying down,which was gorgeous.Also the royal palace with great temples, although they were not my favourite style they were still really beuatifull with hand made painted walls.We had a nice visit around the floating market were we were on a boat for about 1.30 hours going around the market and seeing how each woman from her boat was selling fruits and vegetables, and meals...it was quite nice altough i had expected to see more boats.



Maybe there is a special day where there are even more boats and more market action... we also had a tour on an elephant with my dad, which was a bit too organized in my opinion. I would have liked to go on an elephant in the middle of no where or just somewhere but not on a specific 30 minute round path made for the elephant, i felt it was a bit fake al togheter but i still got to go on the elephant which was quite cool. Nevertheless,inside of me i had this voice running in my head saying "poor animal"...just walking around the circuit over and over and over and over...felt kind of bad for the elephant.


..and of course being in thailand and there being never ending thaimassages place...you could get a massage for 1 hour for 4 euros that was a must. It was great... even though not my favorite city architectonically i will stop there again if i have the chance to do so :D

Also funny on monday almost everyother Thai was wearing a yellow t shirt! I went up to ask what was going on and the answer i got was " we commemorate the kings birthday" ... "oh, so its his birthday today?" i asked... and they say" no no, everymonday we commemorate his birthday"... INTERESTING.everywhere aroundt the city and i really mean everywhere there were pictures of the king and signs saying Long Live the king. Even in the airport in every tunnel that gets you from the terminal to the plane there were huge signs saying Long Live the King... It was trully unbelivable!
