Bangkok



                                      Up about 8:30, had breakfast and then out for the day.

 

Fruit and veggie bar.  Yes, salad for breakfast.

 

 

There were 4 dishes like this with eggs, ham, sausage (little hotdogs)

fried rice, etc.

There was a toaster with white and wheat bread, butter, & jellies.

Coffee, tea, water, juices, and milk.

 

We rode the subway downtown where Bert and Batty did some business while I stayed with Brian at a cafe.  When they came back we had lunch, met with Batty's brother and family.  Merle Schultz, one of the sister workers there came and we talked for a couple of hours.  A business contact of Bert's also came and talked with Bert.

What exercise I got in the heat, 90's.  We rode the subway several times, walked, did escalators, steps.  As it is very humid we were tired and hot,

For supper we went to an interesting cafe in the mall.  It was similar to a fondue only the pot has 2 sections, one with very hot (temp wise) veggie broth and the other a little spicer. The ingredients go around on small plates on a conveyor belt.  You take off what you want as it goes by.  About anything you can think of that would go in a Thai dish is on that belt.  Rice is given to you in seperate dishes.  You are given a time limit to eat, ours was an hour and 20 minutes.  We were done before the time was up.

After supper it was all the steps, escalators, and subway home.

A shower and bed felt very good.
