The perfect day...

Yesterday was the perfect day...I went to work for 2 hours, then ran into Jessica on the way out of the hospital and we wandered through the market beside the hospital to find lunch. Bought a lunch of bubble tea, pork & sticky rice eaten with my fingers like the Thai's. Grabbed Maly when she was done and sat with her during lunch. Then Maly and I went on an adventure to find the train station that was very close to the hospital...during which we spoke to no less than 3 military/policemen who all directed us in the general area by pointing b/c they didn't speak English, at one point we ended up on the other side of the tracks & had to turn around. We finally found it, and as a reward I went for a 2hr Thai Massage.

Then for dinner all of us ventured into the Middle Eastern section of Bangkok and had a fabulous feast of falafel, hummous, lamb, yogurt, tabouli...you get the picture. While we were there we were surrounded by signs written in arabic, not Thai, and the population within that area was entirely Middle Eastern...it was almost like we were in a different city. After dinner we walked a few blocks over to the club "BedSupperClub" and had a couple of drinks and watched many tourists/expats dance...there were 2 couples who deserve mention: one couple was attempting to two-step to techno/80's music, and the other was just dancing very poorly but the guy was wearing a patch-work button-up shirt and the girl was donning a hideous floral patch-work-looking shirt. I don't think I've done them justice in this blog, but you can use your imagination.
