Mass confusion

Bangkok is the craziest city I have ever been in.

,Learning experience for my dad
: ) so happy my dad is here to see new things and just get out of Brainerd. This is so good for him. I love just watching and laughing and scolding him. Scolding bc he dosent understand that people are different and do things differently. Not everyone is like a good ol Minnesotan. So I always catch him shaking his head or being rude and not even knowing it. He is learning thou.

in the craziness
mister randy bye ( he dosent no I did this i took it out of his notes)
What a experience! It's market day actually a day to see what happens everywhere. We started out going to china town,damm for people cars motorcycles,did I say people and food carts and venders of all sorts kinds shapes you want it you can get it if you want 6 you can buy six only they will not all be the same size ( shoe that is or any other thing you buy on the whole sale side) so what I am saying is you go throughout the streets up and down front to back to buy what you would like then you go into the alleys and you can buy in bulk like for instance if you liked a particular pair of jeans you would buy them all the same only different sizes best have a good variety of friends!
One could barter a little their but Jess is the action model here wow how do you start out at 10 and sell for 2. "????? What ever! Fun though! then we walked around a little then to the grand palace that was incredible oh but first did you know a man cannot wear shorts a lady must have here legs covered and a shawl to cover all bare skin for it is disrespectful . That was weird it's a tourist place but We got it and when in their world do as they want and al will be good. Any way what a place the eye for detail is incredible the gold the cut ceramic the glass ext.
was just unreal the guards, were in fatigues in the day and formal after 4 look at the pics does not do it justice but wow. Then we went back shopping sort a kinda Jess wanted to see backpack alley that was really fun would be like Nisswa in June for the festival only the majority of the people are 30 or younger from all over the world having a great time listing to music eating drinking and venders everywhere and its 24 hours a day like the city that never sleeps thank god we did. crazy it did rain put a little damper on things but that was short lived. They were much more eager to barter than earlier or maybe we were just getting smarter what the hay!today was not a waste learned a lot. Oh did I mention that a liter beer and a blended daiquiri was like $6. Night had a great time.

Happy b day to me
Went to a floating market was real neat - you go in a gondola type boat threw canals where people have there homes and set up on there dock they have stuff to sell. They also are in there boats and are selling food and stuff out of them.

Day 3 Bangkok
We now see what the bad part of Thailand is all about. We went in a tuk Tuk (taxi) for 2 and he made us stop 2 times. To go buy crap from his relatives or people he works under or being threatened by. So my dad getting mad says we want to go to are place. He goes a block says ok right there. We said thank you and paid him. Turns out nope we were 20 min away from were we wanted to go. ( welcome to thialand)

Thia boxing - it was fun to go to a local sporting event. The Thailand people really get into it and they have little dances and music to go with it all. They are Screaming and betting and counting the hits. A must see when here.

Second bad encounter
After boxing we went into a restaurant/bar and we didn't like it so turned to walk out and they wouldn't let us leave with out paying them. We were circled by security and the owner. unsure what they would do if we just walked out so we paid them half of what they wanted.

Bangkok- over all was a great experience. I have scene some good amazing unreal things and I have scene some really bad things- that I choose not write about. - makes me appreciate what I am doing in Cambodia that much more.
