Bangkok

October 17, 2010

We spent the day in Bangkok.  The city is a bit tired and buildings seemed to be streaked with mold.  We toured the Grand Palace which was well, grand.  Lots of gold, gems, mosaics, Buddhas and tons and tons of people.  We also took a really crazy ride down the Grand Canal on some kind of flat bottom boat.  We went quite fast spraying water as we went.  At one point we stopped to feed the fish which were very large and evidently very hungry.  We passed on riding the "tuk-tuk", sort of a motor bike with a passenger wagon attached.  We also didn't see any "lady-boys", at least I don't think we did.
