So wah di ka* from Bangkok!

I am finally in Thailand! we arrived to Bangkok at 11:50am Sunday morning. after some difficulty, we found MaryAnn in the airport and went to my grandfather's house. we had a light lunch with Gong Gong, then took a very long nap and went to bed at 8pm. this morning, had coconut juice, cha siu bau* (BBQ pork buns) and white corn for breakfast.

MaryAnn was on her way to the market and my cousin and i invited ourselves along. she called for extra moto-taxis. but as i was running down the stairs, i saw MaryAnn speed off. my cousin was on the back of another one and the third motorcycle was sent away right before i got there. sad, i thought, and a little weird. i waved goodbye and stayed with Gong Gong. 15 minutes later, a moto-taxi pulled up and brought me to the market. apparently, Mary Ann thought me and my cousin would ride the 2nd one together. not sure how. MaryAnn had fun introducing us to her friends and we got to practice our Thai phrases (hello and thank you). we stopped by the 7-11 (with slurpees!) for the AC and to buy more cha siu baau, which was discounted from 30 to 25 baht after 10am! it's about 35baht to $1. instead of motorcycles, we rode a tuk-tuk (a motorzied cart) home.

and, my 30baht 1hr is up at this internet cafe,,
