After scarying the hell out of us the first time we were here, Bangkok has become a city of temptations. Oh, how we wish our backpacks were bigger and our bodies A LOT stronger so that we could carry them! The first day here we wanted to go to the Vietnamese embassy to fix our visa, but they were closed, so we ended up in Siem Square, which consist of the huge shopping centres and famous brands. AKA the expensive part of the town. We did a little window shopping and ended up going to the movies and watching "The Tourist".
The weekend went to do some sightseeing and went to Grand Palace.. and grand it was: the former residence of the King is covered in gold! And we also got some traditional Thai massage, which was nothing but P to the A to the infull!! But we're so doing it again. We haven't been feeling so good tha last week so our energy has been kind of low, but hopefully it'll be better soon. And then Tinas' wisdoms teeth started hurting too, and on Monday we went to the dentist where she had to operate one and pull the other. So she's been in a lot of pain the last few days.. :( Poor thing. This was about "an hour" after she said she was starting to get tired of Thai food, and now she can't have any. Guess what she wants?? Karma karma karma!! We also had to postpone our departure to Cambodia a while.. (We're leaving on Saturday). Today we went strolling in Khaosan (again) and climbed the stairs of Wat Arun. We barley made our way back down those steep stairs. Tomorrow we'll be going on an excursion to the ancient city Ayutthaya just outside Bangkok.
We're finally starting to get a little used to the way things work around here. The other day we had to go with taxi/tuk tuk 4 times and were only conned once!! It's a huge improvement. Hurray!
Later!
