Back in Bangkok

A Celebration Parade near my Guesthouse
Cheap Charlie's Pub around the corner from Suk 11 Guesthouse and some people I met. Fun little pub with crazy signs and people!

This is where one of the crazy people took me....just for a photo op and some interesting people watching! Then back to our neighborhood Irish pub.
It was suggested from a young lady, Meghan, who I was traveling with to stay at the Suk 11 Guesthouse near Nana Plaza in Bangkok so I thought I'd check out yet another part of Bangkok. Not sure if I'm getting used to the craziness or what but it's all quite exciting and interesting everywhere you go. Small doses and only occasionally also helps I think. I got some shopping done as I was leaving for NZ in a couple of days and needed some warm clothes. I got my teeth cleaned for $35, it's not any more fun here than it is in Canada unfortunately. Spent 2 hours at the post office trying to mail 3 packages, what an ordeal, helped when I finally got the English speaking 'boss' to help out. I also got my hair colored and butchered. I kept telling the lady, not so short and she kept reassuring me it's not and I thought maybe the mirrors were those funhouse ones cause it sure looked like alot was falling off my head. Sure enough once she was finished I swear I lost a couple of pounds of hair!
Oh well, it will grow back and meanwhile I am trying to get used to styling it with no appliances only gel /mousse and my hands! Some days are better than others.
Then I went for one final Thai massage! I am so going to miss those!
On my journey to NZ I had a 7 hour stopover in Singapore but found myself very entertained. They have everything there including free internet, only catch is you have to stand....I had some Thai food for dinner and then went to the cinema to see Johnny Depp in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
