back from bangkok. it was a nice to get away for a little while and just be consumed by another city. true the streets are slightly dirtier, the air is not as fresh but each soi and thanon just ooze such character and flavour that i wonder if we did not chase the hawkers off the streets and lumped them all in hawker centres, would we still be able to have itinerant hawkers lining the roads today?

i guess i also enjoyed the favourable exchange rate, considering the 50baht swensons and 169baht sizzler's that we nvr got ard trying. the glittering structures in the grand palace and wat phra keow with brief explanation of thailand's mythological history by san n nop. the hyperactive market that is chatuchak. various street foods, river/canal boat rides. the big room that we had, and the scams that started upon arrival at suvarnabhumi. the crazy tuktuk ride from MBK back to the hotel. the crazy jams and the high pitched nasal "kup"s. definitely can go again if visiting more wats and outside bangkok. shopping is highly overrated :)

now that im out of work, i guess i shld enjoy the last few moments that i have before it's back to the daily grind that is school....
