A trip away...
Well... the decision to go on this trip to Samut Songram was made on Friday (13th!) itself! And I guess I just needed to get out of here (not that I don't like it on Campus)... something different for once!
Anyway, I left here early to meet up with P'Oy at the Emporium at 9 a.m. and she did arrive about 10 minutes after I did. Didn't have to wait too long. Apparently the rest of her friends had got lost in traffic and direction.... So, being too early and the Emporium still closed, we walked along Soi 26 to get P'Oy breakfast. Which happens to be a bowl of noodles!!! (I didn't have anything to eat as I'd had the crispy bar of oatmeal (from the US of A!) and Soya milk!
I only needed a hot cup of coffee! And it was then that we discovered that there's no way you can get a cup of coffee out on the streets! So we walk along until we get to a coffe shop (newly opened) which is also a book shop that sells used or 2nd hand books. Really neat place it is. (I think I have their business card somewhere!)
After the coffee and a random walk through the book shop we went out to the assigned gas station for the van to arrive. We didn't have to wait for too long. The van came with Merrick, P'Fa and P'Tum. Really cool people.
The trip was basically by boat along the canal and what's there to see apart from the amazing fire flies? Don Hoi Lod, Rama IV Park, Benjaron factory, temples... and a floating market. Pictures of this trip are with me of course. Just ask!
But I don't forget to mention that P'Oy was really cool too. She's been like a big sister at the office and during the trip I was able to ascertain that if ever I needed an older sister, I don't have to look too far.
