Bangkok Update #2
May. 29th, 2006 07:35 amAnother quick dailup update as I swoop in and check up on everyone. I am encouraged to see that people are hanging in there and I will light some incense at the next Wat for you all. Yesterday we went to the Holiday Market and plan to go again next weekend. It is hard to describe how large this market is. They sell absolutely everything there. We were looking specifically for semi-precious stone beads and found some lovely bargains.
It is the Monsoon season here, so while it is hot and humid, it is likely to rain buckets at any moment. We have witnessed a few gorgeous and violent thunderstorms. The area around Jiraporn's home is lush forest though she is not that far from Bangkok proper. Like Sydney, I wake to the sound of birdsong every morning.
Today we are off to the Royal Palace and to Wat Pho.
Take care!
