Transaction complete....we are now the proud owners of a street food cart and she is a beauty. It is so much better then we imagined. I just love the blue trimmings! She will be ready in a few days for shipping and then hopefully she will be in Melbourne in a month.....Andy is so excited!!!! (ignore the cart in the middle on top of our bench - it was just there from the display).
Andy also came up with this great idea that we wear the jackets that the motorcycle drivers wear as our uniform (motorsai - taxi motorcycle guys). He asked one of the motorsai guys where to get them and he happily offered to take him there. I was very nervous about him getting on the motorcycle and driving through the streets of Bangkok but he made it home safe so all is well. The jackets look great - even Charlie has one!
For dinner we went to this pretty stuffy looking restaurant with lace table cloths and really bad decor. Why you ask? Well Andy had read that the food was good and it was air-conditioned so we thought we would give it a try. Food was excellent (the winged bean salad being a major highlight) and it was quite a funny experience being in such a stuffy environment - such a change from what we are used to in Bangkok. There was a classic band playing old American tunes from the 50's and 60's and the waiters all had to wear these terribly suffocating Navy uniforms (see pic below). Bangkok is such a funny place.....
We were walking home after dinner and came across a bunch of Thai boys playing a ball game. They use a small cane ball and either kick or head butt it over the net. These guys were turning themselves inside out to get that ball over the net. My photos are disappointing - it is really my first go at action shots (something I think you need to practice). I tried numerous settings and none seemed to work. These are the best ones....
