Today we went to the Chatuchak weekend market. A true shopping experience. It's 35 acres and 8,000 stalls of "bargains". Laura came back with necklaces and earrings.
Throughout Bangkok we have been seeing sandbags on the sidewalks. They are left over from the floods last month. Today we watched men throwing bags onto trucks in front of the Swissotel. We saw sandbags on nearly every corner in Sukhumvit, and saw them piled in the shape of a Christmas tree in front of the Tesco-Lotus Department store. And, yes, it was as a Christmas tree because it was one of three Christmas trees made of different materials.
Jim finally found a Blueberry Danish in Bangkok. They are sold in every Bakery in Malaysia, and on the last trip he found his favorite one in Indonesia, but none in Bangkok until yesterday. The danish was in the Yamazaki Bakery, which is between Suzuki Coffee and McDonald's in the Tesco-Lotus mall near the Phra Ram 9 MRT subway) station, if you ever have the urge for a blueberry danish, and if you are in Bangkok.
