Day two

me feet hurt

sunny 27 °C

Hey everybody, day two is going wel, i caught the sky train across town, more in to the centre of the action, so far i haven't hit any REALLY touristy spots which is nice.

I caught a Tuk-Tuk around the city aswell, the driverpointed out that the area i was planning to shop in only opened at 10:30 so he said he'd take me somewhere that was open for only 15 Bhat, he was a really nice guy, he took me past the soccer stadium where spain had recently played. Then he took me to a suit making shop, which i looked around a bit but didn't really want to, so we made a plan he wanted to take me to another shop and then to the shopping centres which would be open and if I spent ten minutes at this one shop he'd get a petrol voucher from them and he wouldn't charge me, so i had a look at a LOT of rings and neclaces and gems, apparently quite cheap but I wouldn't know, so after about 15-20 minutes we left and he took me to the mall for free so all in all it was quite a good experience.

But yeah i'm doing LOTS of walking so my feet hurt, there is lots to buy if you are looking for tacky tourist rubbish, I found one camping store which was interesting, it's so dumb all the 'sports stores'only sell soccer boots and clothes no actual sport equipment.

ok i'll probably post again tonight. see ya all

Haha that's quite cool. A free ride just for looking at rings, necklaces & gems. I think I could handle that :) Sounds like you're having an awesome time.
It isn't raining where you are hey? We've got some friends in Thailand and apparently their whole house has been flooded and stuff. Anyway...cool to hear from you (you're quite the regular poster-it's quite exciting) Don't tire yourself out too much in the beginning!
