Don't Just Stand There, Bust a Move

Today was a successful day of scoping out the shopping scene both near and far from the JL. I really have to give it to Dr. Hickson for being a patient shopping buddy, because I am sure he was just ecstatic to roam the streets and aisles of the numerous stores that I forced him into. I tried not to buy too much because a friend from class is taking off work on Wednesday to take me shopping. She grew up here so I am completely confident in her knowledge of where to go, what to get, and how to bargain. But, no worries, I didn't make it home empty handed because, of course, I had Baht burning in my pocket. The exchange rate being about 33 Baht to the dollar, creates an abundance of currency, which is usually not my problem, so you know I can barely stand not to pick up any of the Fayban's and Feiko watches as I pass the vendors daily. As I was wrapping up my day at the mall down the street, trying to figure out what I wanted for dinner, I stopped at a restaurant called MK's to look at the menu that was sitting outside. All of a sudden, no warning, no music, no nothing, the entire wait staff broke out into song and dance strategically standing throughout the entire restaurant. I wasn't sure if they really wanted me to come in and eat or if it was someone's birthday or what was going on. I guess I will never know because I couldn't understand the Thai words they were singing. I ended up not eating there tonight but I will probably be back soon because I told myself the dance was for me ;) All-in-all a good day! Well I didn't get much sleep last night because I blew the circuit, had no air or lights and had to pack up and move in the middle of the night, so I am off to sleep... I hope everyone has a good Monday!
