So were still here in Bangkok and its been quite the adventure, although once again, we are ready to leave and have another change of pace. Its amazing, but one week somewhere has proven to be more than enough!!
Weve done some interesting things while here. Its quite the city. Weve seen the Grand Palace as Vlad mentioned, weve seen aquariums and museums and hmm.. lots of rain!!
Luang Prabang is 2 days away and we are VERY excited!! Hopefully there will be sun and we can go suntan at a park or something! Here are some more pictures to keep you all going.



<-- Heres me and Nemo. Were buddies, didnt you know? Good times...









<-- Toni, this is for you! In the Emerald Buddah temple there are all of these amaaazing paintings on the walls, with gold and mother of pearl.. Really beautiful!
















<-- This is at the Grand Palace. The demons and monkeys are holding up this stupa. They are decorated with coloured glass and the stupa is gold plated i believe! (there is another one that is solid gold and its HUGE)










<-- Last night we watched the breakdancers practice at the skytrain station. It was pretty cool and you get a glimpse why they call it Break dancing.










<-- same thing






















<-- Heres me and Vlad in our hotel room. Nuff said.








So to continue... yesterday at the Grand Palace we finally felt what it is to be a victim of some form of racism. Because were white, or foreign for that matter, we had to follow a whole bunch of rules that the Thais dont have to. RIDICULOUS.. Let me paint a picture.

We enter the Palace and there are people all around. Its a huge tourist attraction. Right away, because Vlad was wearing shorts and i was wearing a tank top, we were told to go into this line. Basically, we had to borrow clothes to enter the palace. So we wait, and get dressed with an extra layer each, only to find that many Thais are wearing shorts, and skirts and open toed shoes. IT SUCKED. Then we had to pay 250B each to enter (where the Thais get in for free) and then at the entrance where we paid, there were guides bombarding us to buy their services. Another 400B, so we said forget it, we can just read the stupid paper guide and eavesdrop on other peoples guides!! It was definitely beautiful but i dont quite know if it was worth the money and hassle. Then in the evening, we had a wicked Indian dinner in MBK and yet another form of racism happened.
We were watching the breakdancers and Vlad lit up his cigarette and i guess the skytrain police were watching us and they basically tried to be all friendly asking us where we were from, and so they fined Vlad for throwing his cigarette butt on the floor of the skytrain. Unfortunately, there are no garbages in THAILAND and to look around and find millions of other cigarette butts around. It was just a bad and expensive day.
SOOOO... that brings us to today. We were going to get up early to see Ancient City, but we were just too tired. All this walking around and we have become quite the athletes. We wish we had a pedometer just to see how many km's weve clocked. So thats about it. My hand hurts, so im gonna stop now, i hope this was an entertaining portion!!
Much love... mia
