SHRIMPS,TOMYAM,CULTURE.

Bangkok was a blast. i mean, I had a blast there. it was DARN fun although it was only the four of us, as in my family. when i got into the airport, the first thing i witness was politeness. they were SOOO polite to us i tell you! but then again, i thought maybe they're only that way towards us tourists but then i puposely see how they greet each other (the other thais) and they were even more polite! haha. in a way, they go, "sawadi ka" with their palms put together, raised up to their chest, u know what i mean. just got back today, and i thought i'd blog tomorrow but since i have another 15 minutes before my computer shuts down, i'm gonna try completing this with a few pictures as well. more pictures should be put up in my sis's blog. (Amelia if you don't know)

Yea so anyway, shopping was like, WHOAHH. haha. things there were cheap, especially in the market. but the markets there aren't like the markets here la. not like pasar malam or anything like that. there're shades and long alleys for you to walk in and all. again, pictures in amelia's blog. then we got to go to the shopping complexes. it's like 1 U and The Curve all around. except that there were more varities in the shopping complexes. you can see billabong and roxy everywhere. they're on sale like clothes u see in parkson? the only thing is that, the sales back home are greater than over there. they don't really have sales for branded stuffs like these.

The food? OH MY GOSH. times 100. it's THAT good. i think i gained like 2 or 3 kgs. but then again, with all the walking to the sky train, i think the fats were kinda burnt off la :p on that note, the public transportations in Bangkok are efficient as well. relating that to Singapore's. obviously you cannot compare with the ktm stations here back home. btw, is that wht u call it? ktm? lrt? hahahaa. i dont even know. yea so bout the food, the tomyam there's like authentic man. so freaking good everytime i see it pass by, my mouth becomes watery. i sound like a fatty hor? but really, it's so spicy and sour. and sweet at the same time. the food court, or rather the food loft is so comfortable to be at! haha. i mean, it's very nicely built and the food there are equally good as the food in places like windmill. price also quite nice, btw. Dinner every evening is unforgetable. we had tony roma's on the first night. their baby back ribs are SUPERB. together with the barbeque sauce. Second night was the authentic thai food. Third night was seafood. I got alot to say bout the food but i think ill let the pictures do the talking. haha. again, in my sis's blog.

okay okay, i gotta go! almost 2! sorry,tried loading some pictures but the internet connection's killing me. and yes, dad set this crappy timer on my comp to just ensure himself that he still has control over us. hah. to get a better picture, just drop by amelia's blog. she'll be blogging soon, i guess.

Goodnight! Kopunka! (thank you) ;) - sharon.
