bangkok: second day

twas a hot winter's day when i got driven for an hour and a half to the floating market in (this place is harder to spell than to pronounce). hot winter = 30 odd degree day. yells were heard as thai vendors tried to sell their wares. they all look pretty much the same to me. i ran into a japanese tv presenter quietly making her speech while someone held a ruffly umbrella over her head.

the boat i was in was stuck in a boatjam for roughly 5-10 minutes. once we got out of that, however, the waterway was relatively free. then i ran into her again.

frankly speaking, i was quite hot and tired so i can't tell you much about what i saw. except for teaspoons made out of coconut shells. they were cool. i'm at my sudio apartment right at this moment and the airconditioning isn't cooling me. it's set at 16 degrees and i'm still sweating like a pig.
