Bangkok Week 67

October 8, 2009

Many thumbs up this week: a night on the town, a trip outside the city, and a look at the absurd number of condos going up throughout the city.

If you order fries, they will be served on an elegant reusable plate!

Satisfying a long-time craving!

The plaza that hosted the opening ceremonies for the activities surrounding the Climate Change negotiations.

An overcast evening.

Ironic that Green festivities are happening at a monolithic shopping mall?

Diplomatically correct display.

Various important Asian people give the event their mark of approval.

At the reception: free drinks and desserts.

Who's mimicking whom?

FINALLY. After 1.5 years. A fan!

My new BFF.

Brushing up on my English skillz. Been here too long. (BTW, that's a she-man on the cover.)

This slice of pomelo has chompers of its own.

The boys get in a quick game of squash on Saturday morning.

"Would you hurry up and serve already?"

Vee's family's new house! They haven't moved in yet.

Thai people are short, so door handles have to be extra low.

A view of the brand-spankin'-new subdivision.

The balcony earns two thumbs up.

A view from the park in front of their 5-bedroom house. And their Jazz! (Fit, for you Westerners).

Praising the ground he walks on. Or, trying to figure out why the grass is so springy.

Another HUGE housing fair with every developer and bank ever to operate in Thailand.

Oh my! How overwhelmingly large!

At another fair in the same convention centre, colorful cotton t-shirts.

Oooh, finally satisfying a 3+ week craving for western donuts.

Believe it or not, Dunkin is an expensive delicacy in this neck of the woods.

Satisfaction guaranteed!
