The delights of Bangkok
Monday was a bit of a blur.. I eventually got to bed at about midnight so it was game over for Monday,,
Tuesday morning brought a dentists appointment at 9am, which lasted till about 10:30,
I got a check up
really good clean and polish,
one large filling
one small filling
rough edges removed from an Australian filling.
Cost 1900 baht, which is about A$80 or 18 pounds - Very happy
Spent the rest of the day wandering around eating all my favorite foods, all spicy, all cheap.
Much the same today, but I have just ordered a made to measure suit, that they assure me will be ready by 10am tomorow (its 4pm now!)
I passed a MacDonnalds today.. Not that I would eat there, but I thought that the statue was cute as it was i the traditional Thai posture... Its a crappy picture taken on my phone.
I have to rush and get my jacket fitted...

Singapore Suprise
All of the shops and things that I was waiting for to open, never opened :(
Its Chinese new year ad most of the shops are closed, its like a ghost town in the city so I headed back to the airport around mid-day as there is more life here than there is in the city..
After an hour of so looking, I have found a power point that actually works.. Yay
But it is still 5 hours till I take off for Bangkok, and I am bored, oh well

Breakfast in Singapore
I left Perth at 1:something am this morning, and slept as well as you can in economy Class :)
Arrived Singapore at 5:20am local time (6:20 Perth time)
So, I thought I would head into the city for breakfast, so, after putting my big bag into storage for the day, I caught the train to Bugis, ariving there about 6:30am.
I dont know why it didnt occur to me before, but 6:30am is no good time to be looking for anything.. It ws like a ghost town, so quick to get around with no people about :)
Much walking later, I found a coffee stall open and had my first coffee of the day.. Kopi Susu, which is strong coffee with sweetened-condensed milk - yummy at 90cents
By 8am, I found indonesian breakfast of Mie Siam.. Noodle soup, verynice.
But, what next? There is only so much searching for and eating of food.. So, now I am sitting in McDonalds drinking an overpriced coffee for the sake of the free Internet.
Its 9:15 and things are waking up around here so, before my laptop battery runs out, I will wander some more.
I have to be back at the airport by 5pm, and I have no more kilo's of baggage, so shopping is tricky.
Good morning from Macas in Rochere Rd, Singapore :)

Its been a while... A NEW TRIP
Wow, its been a while, stuck in Australia.. Still, there are far worse places to be...
Another trip, this time just me :(
Two weeks paragliding in Nepal
Stopping briefly in Singapore
Then on to Bangkok for a few days
Then the Kathmandu in Nepal for the flying
finally the same things in reverse.
Nadya cant get the time off work, and she doesn't really want to spend a lot of time watching me flying.....
