Bangkok @ night!


Wow finally after one month I managed to go out and discover Bangkok at night! I went with a ladyboy from work (ladyboy here not a boy dressed like a woman but only a femeffeminated guy), who asked me already last week to go there (near chatuchak market). Once there, it felt like any other street with pubs let say (for luxembourg) like the 'Hollerecher', only that the club I was in was called Lady BUG and that me and 3 other girls were probably the only 'born' women in about a 200 meter area. Before we went there we had a drink at a little place, the owner was very nice he spoke a bit of english and he told me about his life, that he had come around a lot that he had worked in Hotels as well and that he was happy to have his own little 'shop' where he was selling the most amazing fresh cocktails. He told me like 3 times how beautiful I was looking and that I would probably have a nice life because of that...I guess that is also a good reason why I liked him (but not only)!! ;oP Sitting there and enjoying my first alcoholic drink after WEEKS I was happy and felt relaxed (on holidays). We then went on to the club, first shock: I had forgotten to take my camera, I know I know..stupid. Second shock; I also forgot to take my ID card , happily they believed me that I had 21 and let me enter the ladybug!!
There we met another girl from my work who took care of me and ordered a bottle of whisky and coke and soda and lots of ice n( they only sell whisky here)!! So 6 people drinking on one bottle of whisky... At first I thought wow thats not much...probably they dont drink that much...until the first bottle was empty and I saw them ordering the next one! Holy crap...I was already enjoying myself and did not want to drink more...but they poured and poured one glass after the other... As the time went by, people were starting to eventually dance and the atmosphere was getting a lot better. At one point I asked one of the ladyboys to go dance with me on the stage! We tried to get to the 'stage' and immediatly the boys from the stage took my hand and danced with me! Very friendly..I think I was a real rariety that evening; because a girl AND falang as well!! They were really nice eventhough they didnt speak that much English. We did not speak but had fun nontheless.
I have to say if it is hard to understand a Thai speaking English sometimes in normal circumstances, try to understand them when there is loud music all around you!! IMPOSSIBLE!!
SO mostly I tried to smile and say yes or no when they talked to me and hoped that it was the right thing to say...sometimes I actually understood and then it ended in the same reaction: laughing and nodding so...everything was fine!
At 2 oclock then the light went on and the party was over, the girl from work was pretty drunk and we started to take our things and try to find a taxi! Before that I exchanged my number with some of the guys and they told me that we should go to Khao San road next time, where there are more falang (its a spot for backpackers and I wanted to go at least once) the same road on which Leonardo di Caprio is partying in The Beach. SO they will take me there next week! After that I just fell into the taxi ..I was so tired and could not wait to fall into my bed.
I am now going to lumpini park to read Harry Potter number 7 ahhhh suspense!!! Go ROWLING!!
Oh if ESTELLE or CES are reading this: Je suis désolé encore un fois que je vous ai pas félicité pour vos anniv!!! SOORRRYYYY, pakadong!! (thai qui essaye de dire pardon) Je pense a vous quand même!! CES survit! please. Estelle : donne moi de tes nouvelles please!

Difficult to chose pictures!!



Its really hard to chose but I decided to take this picture, it s a nice resume of a very nice and hot, steamy day!
Okay I have to go...in some hours, at 5 am they are going to sell the new harry potter book! and I want to be there!
byebye
oh tomorrow i am going out with a ladyboy, looking forward to it!!

Adyuthya 2 weeks ago!!


Okay so I got finally the pictures from Adyuthya, today!! I'll put 2 pictures to give you all an impression of the ancient City of Thailand.
This picture shows myself 'performing' a thai ritual, where you have this 'glass' with sticks on it every stick has a number and the number that falls out when shacking the glass is telling something about your life or future if you are going to have luck or not... if the 'prediction' is bad you can throw it away, if its good you should keep it with you all the time. Mine was VERY good and as I wondered if all of the numbers were telling something good I saw the bin full of papers with less happy 'predictions'.
And I have to admit eventhough Im not very superstitious, I was happy that I had such a nice prediction!!
Okay next picture...

aaaaaaaafff, singe, monkey, affe, ling!!!

Some pictures!


Ahh i got a reaction!! 5 comments!! woaahhh!
okay that is motivating! Since I was asked to put more pictures, I guess I will put one or two more pictures : one; so you can see me not getting a tan at all and my friends here. The other one with a monkey!! With me on the picture are Oo and Oil, yeah easy to remember THANK GOD, 2 very nice girls with who I have a lot of sanuk (fun) and who have white hearts! (Im not sure if this expression exists but 'jiai damm' means (word by word) 'heart black' and they are defenitely the opposite!)
I teach them a bit of French and sometimes English if necessary and in revenge they help me to develop my Thai! I teached them to say: J'ai la dalle!! haha sooo funny when they say it now all the time for lunch time...the whole office starts to say it now!

As for the monkey pictures...no words! ;oP Its a monkey...I just think its nice to show it because I think it was the first time I saw a monkey in nature (not in zoo or on television) and I wanted to share this moment..plus it was hilarious when he was 'cleaning' his falang fruit hahaha

Mangrove Final part


Sorry I slept last night and couldnt finish the last part of my report...but Im sure nobody noticed anyways...Im not even sure if somebody else sees this accept my father and brother... well anyways..at least I dont write for nobody!

okay so then we finally planted the trees which was kind of difficult the men had to push the board on which were normally seated one of us girls and some baby trees...the picture explains it better though...
then we left and some of us were pulled by the boats with the board which was pretty funny...
arrived at the departure station e showeres (kind of) and after some group pictures we left for the floating market! there I found some thai specialties which I've never seen in my whole life before! and then we went home again! these people are really fun and I enjoy every minute with them..of course there are some exceptions like one of the guys (who is securitas) at the Sofitel called me falang all the time! And I started to get pissed, because I dont like it that much...then ..because he didnt stop I started to say yes thai? what is it...but then oo told me to call him Lao (from the country laos) which is not a very nice word to say apparently..and ohh mriacle after I called him that he went all quiet and the time after he called me mali! yipieehhh
okay toiday I went to a sort of suuuuper festival for thai products, silk but alos of course food again and bags and jewellry ... I bought so m uch it was cheap and the last day and the people wanted to get rid of all this stuff...but it was sooo huuge my feet hurt and Im exhausted..plus I went to fitness after fo body pump and 30 min of running...Im no officially TIRED!! okay good night!
