I just saw the last post was on 08 September...9 days ago! Obviously time flies when you are having fun. What has happened over the past week? Ummm, life I guess.
We have a daily routine now. Get up at stupid o'clock (5:20am), shower, breakfast and walk out to taxi stand for the ride to school. We have enough Thai to be able to tell the driver the street we need (Phokeow pronounced Po cow) and the basic instructions; go straight, turn left, turn right, stop, thank you.
After school we either take a taxi all the way or half way and walk home. It mostly depends on the time. If it is late (5pm or so), we walk because the traffic can end up costing another 20 baht. Which reminds me, the traffic lights are on a crazy schedule. The red lights stay red for upwards of 3 minutes. They even have a countdown LED display to 'entertain' you while you wait. Then, the weird thing is, green lights seem to last for only 30 seconds.
Once we are home, it's homework, homework, homework. For both of us. Seriously, Emily does about 2-3 hours of homework each night. Some of you may have seen the posting regarding her being artist of the week. Those of you who haven't, check it out on my facebook page.
We still swim, but do not visit the gym as often because we are wasting away.
The Thais love to shop! They construct the most amazing malls. Because we are visiting the malls as tourists instead of shoppers, we take photographs to share with out friends. So here are the pictures from our visit to Terminal 21;
The outside...
Rome has statues and a Vespa.
And the Sistine Chapel!
6th floor is Hollywood with the Cinema and a giant Oscar.
Emily and I had dinner at a restaurant while we were at Terminal 21. And yes, I took food pictures!!!!
Our delicious salad starters.
Tenderloin, mashed potatoes and gravy.
Lobster soup.
Dory fish with mash and gravy
Total: 359.00 baht ($11.97 taxes and tip all in)
See if you can figure out this picture
The middle portion is the bottom floor. The many
escalators are the black and white parts.
Even upcoming promotions are displayed on an
electronic 'arrivals/departures' readout.
