I made few friends in Bangkok
The day before yesterday I sat by myself in the lobby and I started talking to Jowelle (29), a Chinese girl who grew up in Malaysia but currently working in Macau (Hong Kong). We talked for a few minutes when she suggested to go to the riverfront to have dinner. Ahh before that we bumped into Carl from Kanada, he said that tomorrow he joins a tour to a floating market and they pick him up at 7 am. We said we try to join the tour without signign up. We took a cab and paid 3 CHF each... Anyway we walked around in a shopping, restaurants and nightlife area... Very modern and kind of nostalgic. I ate Pad Thai had an iced watermelon shake, while she drank a honey melon shake. Later we took a cab for a breathtaking view on the Lebua Tower. Funny that they even let us in because we both weren't dressed very nice... Thats where they filmed the movie Hangover. I went to the restroom and was a bit disappointed compared to the bar and the prices for drinks... We didn't drink anything. When we drove back we took a cab for 50 Baht (CHF 1.50). Amazing... I paid for it because first thing I was not sure what she thinks of those prices and I wanted to be nice. However... we had a fun night!!! & really nice conversations about her name, language and culture...
