Can't get lost if you don't care where you are!




My new motto!



Started my day with an 8 am yoga class  - truly an ungodly time of the day! I am so glad that I discovered GRAB  - it makes life a lot easier here.
I came back to the apartment had some yogurt and a green apple - best breakfast yet!

 I decided to just wander the old town so I started at the Tha Phae Gate, five hours later I headed for home.
One of the cutest carts I've seen - a little too early for ice cream tho!


Came across this sign as I was wandering and just couldn't resist.




She was really strong, made me jump a few times with the pressure but all in all excellent massage. 


I stopped to look at a menu and looked over to find these two little pups just waking up!  The restaurant looked good and they also ran a cooking class so I sat down and ordered pumpkin soup  -  no soup today so I went back to the ole stand by  - panang curry! It was delicious - perhaps the best I've had on this trip.

Doesn't look very appetizing as a half eaten dish  - next time I'll take a before picture!

I've mentioned before about the unevenness of the sidewalks and the hazards of walking in this country - a small example:
The sidewalk narrows as the tree takes over, uneven broken concrete, wires and roots!

The road is the only option!
Carole mentioned this place so I stopped in for a coffee and a piece of banana bread. The best coffee I've had in this country and the banana bread was delicious!

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...

Truly a unique city ...just a mass of humanity!

I have a love -hate relationship with Bangkok, perhaps that is a little too harsh as the love - hate relationship is basically with the Tuk Tuk drivers. They prey on people and literally take you for a ride. They are the kamikaze,  blood sucking whores of the Bangkok roads. Having said that it is a welcome breeze as you fly through the streets, sidestepping trucks, cars, motorcycles, bikes,dogs and people.  More later,I'm getting over it. My day started out trying to get to Chinatown. It is not accessible by the sky train and that leaves you prey to the Taxi's. It should cost about 4 dollars to get there.  The first taxi driver refused to put the meter on and said 300 baht  - 12 dollars. I told him my roots were not blonde!  Second one put the meter on and it cost 120 baht ....more like it. I wandered through Sampang Market for hours - it is a massive sea of human life and a lesson in patience . Getting prepared for Chinese New Year's Chinese lan...
