Our favorite place to dine out. Sawadee Restaurant in the Night Bazaar.Hi,
We had another hot one today here in Chiang Rai. It seems like the common greeting is: 'Very Hot'. Then conversation can begin. We were out in it today, takin' care of business.
Let me put it the way my brother said it: 'Everyday people should know this one.' After all, it's 'Easy Monday'.
"There is a blue one who can't accept the green one for living with a black one tryin' to be a skinny one. Different strokes for different folks, and so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby. Ooh, sha sha, we gotta live together...
I am __ __." Hint: Ha, you know you wanna dance to the music.
Today we had a normal Tuesday morning. The afternoon went in a completely different direction. Instead of hanging out with the air/con and then swimming, we went into town after lunch. While the car was being washed we had iced-coffee at Doi Chaang, then walked a block to Thai Airways to book our tickets to Bangkok in May. A stop at the pharmacy gave us a laugh. There was a woman helping out and when Lisa told her what she wanted the woman thought for a moment and said 'no have'. Well, we know they have it. Just then one of the owners appeared, heard the comment and called out for one of his guys to fetch the product. It's like, if I don't know it, we don't have it. Hmm.
As the heat continued to slam us in the face we made our way past the car wash to Work @ Home bakery for some bread. Our friend Jonathan was there and greeted us for a hot minute before going back into his air-conditioned sanctuary. He visited long enough to smell our dogs and get rubbed behind the ears. We hung out in front of a fan, looking at magazines until we thought the car might be ready.
Once we were back in our clean car, we went to the vegetable market. All over town there are many shops that are still closed. The same seemed true at the market. We got what we needed and noticed that all of the fruit vendors were making gift baskets, wrapped in plastic with ribbons and bows. We're not sure if it's Songkran related or not. More investigation is needed.
Our last stop was the HP store where we had to return a faulty ink cartridge. Oh my, this was not a simple task. First, the progression of events had to be understood. Then the result had to be comprehended. After a lengthy phone call to the main store, a test was conducted and the cartridge was indeed faulty. Then we had to wait while a young man from the store went to the main shop to get approval, blah blah. We finally left with a new cartridge, and a knowledge of the whole inventory in the showroom.
Home for a swim, dinner at the Night Bazaar, end to a busy day.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
