Day 2

Woke up at 6.30, which is 11.30 you guys time, and thought I had to wait for breakfast to open at 7.30, so I went down then to find it actually started at 6.30 - retarded Alana - but ah well. I had fried rice hahaha. And also a crazy yellow sausage, and boiled egg and 2 danishes...when in Rome hahaha. I then decided to brave outside and go for a walk...sweatsvilleX100. I had to sit down after 10 minutes . for a breather. It sounds funny, but I did cross the road cos I just couldnt see how people could. 8am was a very busy time. So I just walked around a rather large block and looked at all the things. SO MUCH STUFF! The dampener is every 5 metres you'll get a wiff of dog/poo/steam/cabbage which isn't great. Whatevs. After melting it out doing that, I went back to the hotel for a cold shower and to make a plan.

I decided to go 'The Ancient City' which is a park kinda thing, in the general shape of Thailand. The people at the hotel helped me get a taxi, and what an experience that was. Lanes? Who needs them. Indicating? No such thing. Seatbelts? Youve got one half or the other. Speed limit? However fast you feel like. Joises is all I can say. Theres replicas of alot of the temples and monuments that are around Thailand, and you hire a bike and ride around. It was drizzing a bit when I got there, so lucky I took the happy rain mum! It was nice tho, biking around with the rain. the sun came out, and I had to keep biking to get a breeze up, it was so god dam hot. I was using the umbrella as a sun shade, but somehow I got sunburnt. I stopped of by the floating market to have somehting to eat. Best chicken noodle soup ever. Yum. Then walking round the market bit. There was a school trip or 7 there, and everytime I walked past a group of them theyd all stop and look and go 'hellooo helloooo, hi! hi!' It was cute. I was talking to this frenchie and we decided to taxi back to town together so we could halve it. She was asked me 'what you call this?' talking about her sunburnt arm, as she was calling it arm red. I laughed.

Back to the hotel for another cold shower, and a beer at the bar. Beers were 2 for 95 Baht...thats about $4 NZ...so $2 a beer...Then Mash turns up, yay I have a friend! The silly boy realised after 10 minutes that he couldnt find his backpack...mustve left it in my room...must have left it downstairs...must have left it at reception...oh dear, he left it in the taxi. Gone, probably never to be seen again. Ah well, at least he had his passport and wallet. We went out to the market thing thats across the road from our hotel. This lady with this crazy spikey fruit, which I think was a lychee, called us over and let us try them. Then we went to the only bar we could find and got 2 beers and played pool. How terrible can someone get at pool. I think in 2 games I managed to sink 3 balls in total. Shame. Then we went back to the hotel to wait for Claire, so we went swimming, to get a chance to use the underwater cameraaaaa! Yuss. Very cool. As this was to be our only night out in Bangkok we decided to go to out to Koh Sahn rd. Claire stayed at the hotel as she had just finished her giant flight, so me and Mash went. We went to the first place we found and got a beer each, then trying not to be loners sat down with a group of people, and proceeded to have an hour long 'conversation' consiting of 1 word sentances and saying what sounds like 'soo-saai' but I dunno how to spell it so youll just have to guess. It means something like 'cheers' but we will never know for certain, it probably meant penis and they were laughing at us. The place we were drinking at turned out to be a tattoo parlour, very random. Then we went to a random side market to try some deep fried skewers with all kinds of stuff on it. Meatballs, weird chicken circles (dunno) and frankfurters. Random but gosh were they yummy. Then back to the hotel again.
