Bangkok - Day 2

*Yawn* New day. Ready to shop. But first we got to eat breakfast. A hearty meal gives you energy to shop. Boy, is the breakfast pathetic.

930 am, ready to shop. We went to Platinum Mall, which is one street down our hotel. Platinum Mall is a whole sale market, you got to buy in bulk and bargain the price. But most of the price are pretty standard.

We had a full 8 hours of shopping there. It is like a professional career. We took a tuk tuk back to the hotel. Boy, are they a terror in driving. Good experience though.

We dropped our shopping bags at the hotel. I spent almost half of my currency I brought. It is only the first day of shopping. Woo... We changed our room back to the "un-upgraded" one and aer we disappointed. It is even smaller.




Sis is breaking out into rashes. Probably bed bugs. I was itching the night before as well.

Anyway we took a cab to Suan Lum Night Bazaar to have dinner and keep on shopping. The cab driver refuse to on the meter because there is a traffic jam over there at that time he claimed. And he charged us 150 baht. I think we were over-charged. Unfortunately, on our way there, it starts to rain heavily.

The rain spoiled the whole shopping mood. It was flooded everywhere, above the ankle.My jeans and shoes are soaked. We were drenched. Cold and wet. We ran into a resturant and settled our dinner there. The ambiance was quite romantic, cold and wet, dimly litted resturant in a foregin land, droplets of rain splatting on the window. Unfortunately, the crowd is wrong. How nice would it be to spend a time like that with a lover?

Anyway, we settled there. I wanted to eat seafood. Oh well...

The rain finally stopped. But our buying mood also stopped. With the flooding water everywhere, we called it a night.

What a waste...
