Bangkok city, 14.09.2004.

First day in Bangkok.

The best ID was that Alys pick me up. And she did. Well I guess she wanted to see Kermit Jr. he is girls number 1 !
Okay I get my lugage and follow my guide Alys. She is in Thailand since 14 days and seems to know the place as she was here a year. We go from the airport to the city-jungle. Its chaotic. Totaly chaotic. The Taxi driver drive from right to left back to right, arround us tousend of car, buses and motorbike. Upper us there are also car, driving on a highway bridge parrallel to us. Its realy amazing, and for an introduction to Bangkok the Taxi ride was enough.

I m happy, because I see Alys again. It seems to be years that we didn t saw each others but on the other side, I feel close to her, even as friend.
After deposing my stuff in a dark little cute room, we move to the city. Not by tuk-tuk, not by taxi but by boat. Waaaaow. Its great, I don t know everything and just follow Alys. We are waiting on the pear where some buddhist monk through some bred pieces in the water. Alys tell me to look down...and incredibly there are hundred of strange shaped fishes fighting to have one piece of monk-bred. How can be in so much water so much fish at one place ?

We catch the boat, Alys trying not to touch the monk (its forbiden for a woman to do that). What a luck to be a boy sometimes.
After few stop we go out. I follow blindly my guide, that exactly now where it goes. My eyes are stocked sometimes in unhabitual happenings.
