Killing Time in Bangkok
It takes three work days to get a visa for Vietnam, so I’m just chilling here in the dirtiest city on earth waiting for Wednesday. There is a lot to do here, it just gets a little expensive once you get off the backpacker trail. And I’m really itching to go see some different stuff. Yesterday I took the river taxi to the skytrain then on to the shopping district where there are 10 enormous malls. I spent some time in this really upscale mall that had Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche dealers inside on the 3rd of 8 floors. Then saw another movie in this super-deluxe theater that had huge, leather, auto recliners and blankets and pillows. I could have spent all day there. Lots of walking around. Between all the walking and all the rice I should weigh about a hundred pounds when I get back. I’m really starting to jones for a steak, not a whole lot of beef in the land of the Buddhists.
I went to that mall. There were lots of things i wanted to buy there.
