Bangkok at Last!

Hi,

I'm adjusting to the 95 degree temp. Tough duty but someone must. Between planes in Tokyo (13hrs there) I was watching Japanese TV, sumo wrestling. Fascinating to watch those behemoths go at it. After one match the winner took his bows and marched triumphantly out of the ring. As he departed he spotted a tiny girl offering a 'high five'. He changed his course and accepted her 'high five' before disappearing into the dressing room.

After landing in Bkk I collected my baggage and headed out to the taxi stand. A woman approached me, "Where you going?" I told her and she said: "Taxi 900 baht ($30.)" I said "No Thanks." The metered taxi cost $450. Ya then....pays to be careful.

More to come from the Traveling Curmudgeon!
