Bangkok in my mind.

At long last, I finally got to go to Thailand! Weeee!!! Too bad it was only for a day (don't ask)... still, I managed to squeeze-in visits to some "need-to-see" places or two. My absolute fave?

Khao San Road, beybeh!

 

It has everything one would expect from a real happenin' beach place -- henna stalls, curio shops, places where you can have dreadlocks braided into your hair, cheap food, cool beer, white people in skimpy beachwear walking the main road, stalls giving massages, bargain books, tie-dyed shirts and sundry... 

Yups... one can find everything at Khao San Road... everything except the beach, of course.

Dora the Explorer, all grown-up!

Watching the live TV coverage of the Senate investigation of the Ligots was a blast! It, hands-down, beats watching any telenovela anytime!

One new development was the expose of a certain "Dara" (Kapampangan for "Tita") being Mrs. Ligot's "constant companion" during her numerous trips abroad. Wow. As in Wow! Si "Dara the Explorer" ito! :-)

Ganito na ba ang itsura niya now that's she's all grown up? :-)
