Hi,
Yes, I'm really late today. We're here in Chiang Mai and we just got back from the Night Bazaar. We had a good day. Our bus ride was really cool this time because we got front row seats. That meant that we could see everything going on as we wound our way through mountain passes and across valleys. There were times when I didn't really want to see what was going on, especially when the bus driver was passing slower cars. I guess the drivers develop a 'sense' about these things. As for me, I just turned my head and looked out the side window. The weather was perfect for travel, no rain.
It would appear that more of you know your oldies than I thought. I tried to trick you but you got it. Fats Domino singing "Whole Lotta Lovin'" from way back in 1959. We move up a few decades with the next entry. It comes from across the pond. It's easy?
"__ __ __ __, Never reaching the end. Letters I've written, never meaning to send..." Hint: There was no jousting in this song.
Today we went to Pantip Plaza, the tech building, and browsed around. We ate at our usual Thai restaurant and then, after a brief rest, went to The Central. You may recall our past visits to this monster mall. Five stories of just about everything you could ask for. We had some birthday shopping to do and we wanted to check out Robinson, (not to be confused with 'Robinson's') for household items. Our theory is that if they have it in Chiang Mai at the department store, then it's probably somewhere else for less. (Ha) We saw lots of cool stuff, found a very nice place to eat and discovered that they have an outdoor market place on a level we'd never seen. I had to stop by the Apple Store to check out the new Mac Book Air, which I hadn't seen. Slick. Oh, and they have a really big fish in the aquarium. We got some pics of it that I'll post. They've also added a giant screen in one of the many lobbies. There's a pic of that too.
The NB was jumping. Chiang Mai has a lot more tourists than Chiang Rai. We're just a little country town. The sidewalks were jammed with accents from all over the world. It's quite a feeling, hearing all those languages and every now and then, English. We're starting to know our way around the NB and that's a good feeling. In the past we'd feel lost, doubling back and forth trying to find one particular booth in the maze of it all. Now we know just where to go to get what we're looking for.
Well, it's getting late so I'll let you go. Have a Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny
