Bangkok Week 220 — Mika's Photos

There was a perfectly timed train delay on Friday night at rush hour.

As a result, the platform was so full that they had to stop letting people into the station.

We had dinner at a very lovely -- but relatively inexpensive -- vegetarian / seafood only restaurant

The house that the restaurant is in was designed by the "Father of Moden Thai Engineering" -- who was educated in the UK in the 1920s. He also designed Don Meuang airport in 1949.

The house was designed at the period in Thai architectural history where traditional wooden and modern cement met in house design.

These delicious Thai dumplings are usually made with shrimp -- so it's the first time I got to try them.

Have you ever seen such blue rice? (It's dyed with the color from this flower: http://bit.ly/vvUgI)

10 bonus points on your SAT if you can tell me the definition of "stanchion" without looking it up!

Thanks to a clearance sale on almost-expired Kraft Mac & Cheese, we had a solid dinner of good ol' American comfort food.

Midweek dinner at our favorite Mexican joint.

It's the hard-shell taco he's been craving for 5 years!

More words of wisdom from our building management -- trying to explain why we were awoken in the middle of the night by the fire alarm... during a black out.
