Without Words...

Week with the boys!

This week I was pretty busy, but fortunatly not with work but with my 2 friends visiting me from Luxembourg. We had some very nice moments and in a whole it was almost the perfect week... The cherry on top of the whipped cream was of course the weekend in Krabi by the sea. We went diving, kayaking and basically just relaxed in front of the beach..with some beers, suncream and moskitospray ^^
The weather was pretty good it didnt rain our hotel was cheap and nice and the food was EXCELLENT!
All in all some amazing days in amazing Thailand! ^^
Unfortunately now everybody is gone and Im alone again...I think the contrast after this week is going to be hard for the next weeks...but I'll survive that as well! ;)

I think you could say that we did a loooot and saw a looot, we went to see the Grand Palace, Chinatown, PingPong Show, ate on the highest openair restaurant in Thaialnd.., went to see a Muay Thai fight, went to the VIP cinema session, went to a Thai/Expatriate Bar, called Saxophone and where they were playing some amazing music (bogband and jazz soul band, of course thai!!)...
I think I did more in this week then in the 3 months alltogether that I am here already... so now I have to save some money again, for a change ...

Okay I let the pictures speak for themselves...

F&B Competition in Paragon!!

This Saturday was a big competition between big Hotels and Restaurants mostly from Bangkok. So Ooy, whose boyfriend is the executive chef of Asia Hotels and who took part, and me went there to see the different competitions: Ice Carving, Food Carving, Cake Decorating, best Pasta Plate and best Bartender. Sofitel Silom Bangkok (our Hotel) took only part in one competition, which is the bartender one, for classical Cocktail and we won!! We won best performance and we won first place with the same guy! He is very talented and he will go to the Philipines now to take part in an even bigger bartender competition around Asia!! We were so proud!! I think there is going to be a big Party in V9 (our famous restaurant) sometimes next week. We'll see...
Okay Sleepy again byee

Ech mengen et get mool Zeit fier main éischten letz. Andraach. Sin souwisou net vill Lait di de Blog liesen an net letz. sin! ^^
Maja wollt mool bessi iwwert mai Sozialt Liewen vun hai schwetzen...

Wi gesoot di meeschten Thai sin ne grad su bewandert am Engleschen oder iergendenger Sprooch ausser Thai. Dowinst kann et haiansdo (sproochlesch gesin) relatif einsam gin. Mee daat woor gréisstendeels am Ufank...am Moment kennen ech di leit di mat mer schaffen scho besser an verschiddener trauen sech lo och puer Sätz op Englesch rauszebrengen. An deem Department wu ech schaffen (Cost Control F&B) sin ech mam Ooy, waat sech em mech kemmert an mer mettlerweile scho richteg un Herz gewuess ass, de Chef (Moo) vum Dpmnt., dee menger Meenung no keng foutéiert an lait alles um Ooy, an dann na een dee sech nemmen em Beverage bekemmert, de Pan. Mam Chef hun ech mengen ech na ni geschwaat...an mam Pan amfong o na net su richteg well hien baal nemmen Thai schwetzt an nemmen selten Englesch schwetzt an versteet. Mee mier verstin ais awer deck gudd...as zimlech witzeg... ass haiansdo e bessen wi mat engem daafen ze kommunizéieren (also 2 Daafer di mateneen kommunizéieren) mee haut hun mer mool baal eng richteg Konversatioun mat nicken an sou ferdeg bruet...as schon zimlech Erliefnisreich daat ganzt!
Ech muss soen ech versti mech super gudd mat deene meeschten, mee et mierkt een dann awer o (waat e sech besser kennt) dass et awer na grouss Ennerscheeder kann gin waat Edukatioun, Manéieren, Gewunnechten a Gespréichsthemen ugin.
Mee natierlech emsou méi interessant fier mech e richtegen Ableck verschaaft ze kréien. Daat eenzegt, wat mer lo na mi kloer gin ass, waat mech ufenkt mat nerven as d'Relatiounen zweschent de Fraen an de Männer. Egal op Thai männer an Fraen oder Falang an Thai gemescht...si sin na net graad souwait mat der Emanzipatioun wi sech daat op den éischten Ableck ugesait! Ee vu de Meedercher vun der Arbescht huet mer erzielt dass et opwuel et guer keng Locht dozou haat mat sengem Frend geschloof huet, nemmen well et net wollt eng ganz Diskussioun draus maan. Ech hund aat su krass fonnt...hun awer su gemaa wi wann et okay waer...froen emch awer lo op ech ent awer soll eppes soen...mengen awer net dass ech eppes maan kann.. Mee as awer krass...et huet mer erzielt dass et express mega lues gemaa fier pennen ze goen an extra na Buch gelies huet an wi et dun gemengt huet e ging schloofen wollt et luuues Luut ausmaan an zack du woore beemool rem hellwaakreg...Mee pardon et schafft menger Meenung zimlech vill am Moment an wann een da net engkéier kann Nee soen...daat as jo scho baal Viol!! An hun haut an der Zeitung gelies dass et bai ville Thai Koppelen su waer dass de Mann dFra quasi vergewaltegen ging an dass Fraen daat acceptéieren gingen well se mengen et waer huier Schold oder sou...
Daat woor mool ahut su de Schock... an jo dann di dégeukasse Koppelen hai ; fetten (reichen) aalen Preiss oder Fransous oder waat o emmer sicht sech eng jongk Thai Beauté!! HELLEEEEF!!! Losst di Meedercher da mat Rou!! Et sin esouuu léiwer...

Maja sin awer lo ab denowend geet et an RCA (Party Quartier hai zu Bangkok) allez bis demnächst!!

Long absence...

Sorry I didnt write for quite some time...I didnt pay my internet bills since my money (salary) just evaporates every month..
I still havent paid but I told them I will pay by the end of the month..and apparently they believed me because I have my internet back!!

Some news, I met a philippino guy who is working in my hotel and speaking (even teaching) english...we go out sometimes and its fun, but then he told me (OVER SMS) that he loved me which I found pretty strange after 2 weeks of knowing one another...
Then I thought I felt a bit alone and got myself a rabbit...but nothing to write home about, befcause he died 2 days after I got him...he didnt want to eat and then he got diarrhea...well it wasnt funny but well...its life...I guess..

At least my social life is getting more interesting and I will have some visit from luxembourg in September ...and Im looking forward to talk in my language again and to see them and show them around of course!!

What else lets see.... I hope nobody reads this blog hahaha
People will think I am a heartless, bunnykilling and heartbreaking bitch..
Okay enough I am very tired and obviously have nothing really to talk about...^^

Gwen Stefani in tooownnn!!!

I know not a very nice picture but I have a video as well...it was pretty nice the show...I wantewd to see a concert like this in a long time..and I wasn't deceived..
The princess of Thailand was there as well and Gwen and her Cancers and Musicians rocked the scene!!! Thai girls went crazy and screamed like hell..
After the show the big problem was to get a taxi..One would think that it would be easy t get a taxi in Bangkok..but suddenly aftetr the concert there were so many people all the Taxis full until there wwas only me and a Japanese guy with whom I wanted to share a cab. After half an hour one axi was finally available but did not want to put on the Meter that measures the money u have to pay per KM and asked directly for 300 baht. We found it a bit too much and did not want to pay such an amount. So we denied and waited for another 10 minutes..the next Taxi stopped (FINALLY) and asked for not less than 500!! baht. It was quite a shock and my freshly found Taxisharer got that upset that he tapped on the Taxi and almost started a fiught because the driver eanted to take advantage of our situation..at night far from Bangkok centre with a now almost deserted street...
I almost started to lose hope to find a taxi when suddenly tha 3rd taxi stopped at the winking hand of my 'friend'.
Thanbk god this taxi driver wasnt that kinky and took us with him to go back to Bangkok. Happy and exhausted after one hour spent one the street almost crying for a taxi we fell into our seats and were FIBALLY FINALLY driven back home...
Indredible the Taxi drivers here...soime are very nice but some just take advantage..or sometimes they chose if they take you where u want to go or not... Imagine in any other country ( I know at least) that you ask a Taxi to go somewhere and the Taxidriver laughs, waves no with his hand and head and just drives off!!!
Well ... thats Bangkok I guess!!
Happily there are normally so many Taxis that its just a matter of time to get to the destination of your wish!!

Cho Ping WE!!

So this weekend I had some visitors at my appartment and we went to shop around Chatuchak market and Night Bazar...
On Friday night, we first went to a Bowling, Karaoke bar? and then we went to a sort of 'Concert bar' like in Luxembourg the Atelier, BUT everything the band was playing was in thai (naturally). The entrance was free but the beer quite expensive..we dances for some time and went home again..I have to say I really start to like Thai men...^^
Okay Im quite tired so I let the pictures tell the story for me:
