A couple more awesome highlights.
We were taken out last night on a dinner cruise on the main river in Bangkok (I forget the name and can't be bothered going upstairs for the lonely planet). It was awesome! The food (buffet) was plentiful and good. They had a band that was fine, but best of all was the amazing view. This beautiful new bridge, the Grand Palace, Wat Po and (my personal favourite on this trip) Wat Arun all lit up and fabulous.
This morning at breakfast I was given a ring by a family friend. It surely must fall under the label of family heirloom as it was her great grandmother's. The one who used to live/work? at the palace! It has a variety of stones inserted the whole way round so cannot be sized, but it fits perfectly on the middle finger of my right hand. I'm basically stunned and amazed that this was given to me.
Shopping is *not* a highlight, but we went to Pratunam today. It's such a pain buying clothes in Thailand. It seriously makes me wish I was an 8-10 rather than a 12-14. That seems to be the equivalent here! However I did buy too work suitable black skirts and I did *not* get the largest size! Amazing! On fun side, if I was doing another burlesque show, there is a section of Pratunam that has the perfect clothes, all spangly and small. I bet the drag queens all shop there@
