Hi,
We were a little busy today. A trip to the mall, a hotel on the river, a light show and the Night Bazaar. Those were some highlights.
Congrats to all of you who recognized "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris, even if you didn't like the song. Now it's time to get a little crazy with the 'Zany Day' song. This song was made into a movie during the 70s. Sing along:
"You might not ever get right, but let me tell ya, it's better than diggin' a ditch. There ain't no telling who you might meet, a movie star or maybe an Indian chief. Workin' at the __ __, workin' at the __ __, yeah." Hint: It's a place that sometimes gives 'rain checks'.
This morning, after the dogs put on an exercise show for Bruce and Danielle, we took the Vios to the shop for repairs. When we got there the woman who greeted us didn't know the car had already been written up. It took a call to our insurance man to set things straight. From there we went up the bumpy airport road to Makro, then back to the house.
We began our day of touring with a stop at Khun Natty's family restaurant. Lisa made a design for a hotel in Chiang Mai and we found out they want to use it on T-Shirts in their shop. Our next stop was a visit to Bliss Studio. Chalit gave our guests a tour and Bruce shared some of his photos with Chalit.
Central Plaza was our lunch destination. We ate at Black Canyon and noticed that portions are shrinking. What does it mean? The food was good, just less than the last time. After lunch we went to iBeat (the Apple Store), where Bruce, who works for Apple, got to see how things are done on this side of the world. He had his picture taken with some of the staff who were quite happy to pose.
Le Meridien was one of the places on our list of things to see so we drove there by way of our first neighborhood in Gatong village where we lived in a rental house for 9 months. We had drinks by the river, had a fun visit with Renoud, the food manager, and then went home for some rest.
After a dinner at home we went back into town. We hung out at NorThai and then went to the 8pm light show at the Clock Tower. The show only lasts 5 minutes but it's still a wonderful experience. Bruce set up a tripod and got some great shots of the Tower in different colors. Since they hadn't absorbed all of the Night Bazaar, we went back for round two. Tonight we went down the aisle where they sell puppies. In addition to the dogs there were rabbits in dresses and tiny little squirrels. What?
See, it's a Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
