bangkok: "oh-pen the bah-tuhl."

gulp bonk yawn ugh breathe rrrrr tick

business as usual in some mini mart. yeah, i think these thai workers should get paid more too! damn you fat cats up there in the mini mart hierarchy!
it must be hard for customers to find anything. guess i'll just go to 7-11 instead. perhaps an elephant will be waiting to greet me at the door.
check these taxi fares out! 50 km for 285 baht (43 baht to 1 usd)! woo! too bad these sleazy thai taxi drivers try to hussle you in every way possible (e.g., driving in the exact opposite direction, driving in circles, etc.).
an oversized menu in some cafe in the emporium on suhkumvit where i crunched and swallowed an entire yellow chili pepper.
thai people make killer desserts.
more of that.
like these little taco things for instance.
or these little dough/creme filled things. i found these on the street for like 0.5 baht each.
overpriced friend bananas! 4.6 cents each!? nooooo!
more, more, more. i want more more, more.
the sky train, a clean and reliable way to get around.
some of its excited passengers.
a map which wasn't exactly helpful.
pirated vcds!! random boring-as-hell asian eecs undergrad on bayporter shuttle: "i would never buy pirated vcds.". me: "oh, why is that?". mr. boring: "because i'm a software developer." me: "but you don't make movies.". mr. boring: "yeah, but i still wouldn't." yeah yeah whatever, why don't you go back to your little nerd apartment with your four computers and write some javascript while working on "web front ends" now. ho ho ho . . ..
bored as can be while waiting for song to pick us up.
the colonel is possessed! it's just like that scene in stigmata, you know the one on the trailer when patricia arquette says in that scary voice, ""um messanger nao importante"!
yet another boring food picture. there appears to be a trend here.
thai mcdonalds and their fried chicken.
eventually, we met up with song and went to this place to eat. it's by the river which was nice and had a little merry-go-round that seemed completely out of place. strange.
once again, "oh-pen the bah-tuhl."
same thing mixed with sprite or something. bleck.
pooh with song's hand in her face.
again.
his name is "a" or "ay" or "aay" or something like that, mumble's cousin.
three cousins, all completely unalike.
squid thing? names?
our server who, after i spilled some water in my lap, apparently said in thai, "do you want me to clean it off you?" or something like that. oh boy . . .
something else.
fishcake thing. mmmm!
more unidentifiable food.
and more.
she poured drinks, i took pictures, she got annoyed. how do you ya like me now that you're on the internet!? muahahaha.....
ok, i know this.
er... nevermind. i know i know this!
later when we left, stuuuupid song stopped the car right next to her as she was walking to her own car. he uses his power windows and rolls down my window and says that i wanted to say bye to her. oh my god!
group pic.
the bah-tuhl.
yeah, pour those drinks, missy! haha...
pooh's place. see the stuff on the wall? she's a dentist.
the metal thing i walked into. this is why i have a bandaid on my forehead in all subsequent pictures.
pooh cleaning my bloody wound up. hey, i didn't get a little candy afterwards!
