there seem to be fish heads in every dish, and it's not so bad

hello everybody, zoe and i are alive and well. the 15 hour flight was not at bad as i thought it was going to be. luckily a woman sang behind me for about an hour which helped pass the time. hong kong was full of "hong kong wonder" -it was great. then it was back on that damn airplane to bangkok. 

in bangkok we managed to find the lovely tang (below), and her family waiting for us. 

we went to a shrine that celebrates all forms of buddhism. the place is on the river and has a big dock where it holds a massive market on the weekends.

we went to check out the docks where i noticed massive fish, 2-3 feet long.

feeding the fish was my favorite part of the day.

this was also my favorite shrine. inside the building behind it is a huge buddha at least 10 feet tall in the sitting pose.

later we got some thai "sweets." this stuff is like green cotton candy, but i think it is made from rice. you then roll up the green cotton candy in a thin sweet pancake, and eat it like a burrito.

elephants! i refuse to ride an animal that i cannot give a ride, but i really like to watch them.

tang's dad has a good friend that has a "hut" at a hotel, or that's how i understand the story. so, zoe and i have our very own "hut" which is so lovely. we also get to stay here for free!

zoe's in the window!
