Good morning Bangkok!
What a day!
It started at gawdawful in the morning (7:00), after very little sleep..
Oded and I went out to find ourselves a trekking backpack… We took the Skytrain – upper story train – to the shopping district, which we discovered only opens at 10:00.. (Just a reminder.. It’s now about 7:30..) Ugh.. So we walked around for a little, and met a very nice Thai man who wanted to practise his English. He explained that on Fridays everything opens at 10:00, and where we should go for shopping and all the big attractions of Bangkok. He then proceeded to arrange with a nearby Tuk Tuk driver to take us to the shopping center for about half the price we would have otherwise paid. 🙂
