It's only 37 degrees!!

My feet are beat up and it is 37 degrees so I thought today would be a restful one.  I went to Robinson's - the Thai equivalent to perhaps The Bay .  Tried to find some blister band aids - not much luck. So, I took the Sky Train back to Prom Pong and searched there.


Decided to go see Knives Out - an outstanding bunch of actors and actresses - Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis... it was just OK. What really threw it off for me was Daniel Craig with a southern drawl. The two just don' go together IMHO.
The theater on the other hand was interesting. The movie costs 150 baht - about 6.50 CDN. Popcorn cost 170 baht - 7.50 CDN. The seats were lazy boys and came with a blanket. All six of us stood for the King before the movie started. The theater I was at here years ago was nicer but don't recall which one it is.
To enter the Directors Lounge it cost 1000 baht for two ($44) you get free snacks, upgraded seats in the theater plus unlimited popcorn and drinks. 
Popcorn choices, butter, cheese, sour cream or caramel!

After the movie I went to the food court - skipped the first place - read the menu if you can and opted for some Som Tam.


My dinner: Papaya Salad  - delicious!  55 baht - $2.50 CDN


On the way out I walked by all these goodies!
Snow houses according to the label.

Santa Claus

Butterfly Pea

Shortbread

They even had fruit cake!
Everyday I walk right past this display and the same two women man the counter - like seriously it is 37 degrees - who us buying fur!!!

As I approached the hotel I noticed that these kids had a stand out front on the sidewalk - thought it was lemonade but as I got closer could see it wasn't so I went over and they were selling "healthy snacks" - date balls! I had the choice of a blue wrapper or a white wrapper. Three for 30 baht - I gave one to the security guard, had one myself and I,m saving one for later. I noticed when I put it down in my room that the wrapper was "Frozen"
Too cute!

We headed out to the Albert Cuyp Market first thing - we walked by a restaurant that said bacon and eggs and we were in it like a flash! The guy was super nice and we both ordered breakfast. It was interesting because the plate had toast on it the bottom then we think they cooked the bacon and then cooked eggs right on top of the bacon. Sounds odd but it was good - after I pulled the bacon apart from the egg and separated it all!  Tiki says it looked like a bacon and egg pizza! The owner talked us into splitting a piece of apple cake that he had just brought out of the kitchen - it was also very good!!! Freshly baked apple cake! A whole stand of licorice! Pigeon watching me take every bite! Only the Dutch could turn a bike into a table!  Delicious! How small can the cars get! Like the size of a recycling bin! Anne Franks door! Flowers are in bloom! People were lined up down the street for these cookies  - we did not get i...

Oy Vey, Arrived in Bangkok at zero dark thirty this morning just in time to see a beautiful sunrise. My picture does not do it justice. The first leg from Toronto to Dubai was great. I cannot say enough about the service provided by Air Canada. Everyone was very nice and the food was excellent. Even the food in the Maple Leaf Lounge was tasty and I am not saying that because of the three glasses of wine I had. Excellent wine selection ! Maple Leaf Lounge.  My space for the 13 + hours! Arrived In Dubai somewhat refreshed as I did manage to sleep a little. On the way to the lounge I spotted the Brioche Doree  - United Arab Emerites has every major  chain store and restaurant in the world, in my opinion these are the McDonalds of patisseries from France. I looked at a few things along the way in the multitude of duty free stores but the prices did not seem that great. No room for an almond croissant! M & M's, gummies ...
