thailand trip...

i know this entry is like real late lor... but ha, well, i managed to complete it! haha....

i touched down SG at 10.20pm. 1st time taking budget airline, the experience was alright. other than the seats cannot be reclined much, it's free-seating, and i have to pay for my own meals, the trip on the plane wasn't all too bad. and the service on from the stewardess are just as good too!

the weather in Bangkok was awfully hot and humid. it got quite bad that not only did we got slightly burnt, it kind of got all of us abit cranky. plus the fact that we walked quite alot, we were tired and exhausted. it gotten quite bad that to an extend we didn't bother bargaining anymore - as long as the price quoted was good,we buy; if we felt it wasn't worth it, we walked away. it's a good thing that we didn't experience any rain or whatsoever. or not, i guess it'll dampen our mood further.

food wise, i think i'm still not used to roadside hawkers. even though i didn't get any case of tummy upsets, the environment didn't encourage an appetite even if i'm actually hungry. plus the population of mosquitoes seemed to be more than houseflies.... it's quite a turn off, really.

every market we've been to, other than shopping centres, reminded me of Bugis Street. despite that they actually carried vast collection of clothes and shoes, to me, they're homogenous. and it somehow got abit boring on what i saw from shop to shop. maybe i was looking out for some real differentiation and uniqueness in the things they carry. however, they do have some really nice and cheap clothes and shoes!

anyway, we happened to stay at the hotel where it's vicinity offers wholesale prices! and we only found that out on the last day of our trip when we're about to go back to SG. sianx...

if i was still in the corporate world, i would have spent more than i had. the things i've set my eyes upon are something i wouldn't see myself wearing till i'm out of Giordano. therefore, i can't help feeling i've made a "unfruitful" trip. nonetheless, when i'm ready for the office jobs again, i'll make sure i'll drop by Bangkok and really shop for REAL.
