Bangkok

Wayne and I spent a week in Bangkok last week. I had training for MED and he did the tourist adventure. Flying 14 + hours and jet lagged for days, I sat through courses to keep my certification. But before the conference began I did have time to do a few things. The Kings Palace was fascinating, shopping was endless and the river area was busy. Bangkok is a crowded, hot and smoggy city full of sites and smells. The streets are full of vendors selling everything from souvenirs to any food, and the smell of incense at the Buddha shrines and fish fills the air.  I have never seen the massive shopping malls and food areas with more restaurants than you could eat in a life time!
