Just typical week - busy as hell

There has to be another word invented for "busy". Is it you overloading your schedule or is it just Manhattan? Impossible. If you could just manage without sleep.

Thursday, you take K for a drink, off to Houston's, Midtown. Drink, eat, and chat, but falling asleep.

Friday, late evening, you show up for your dance class. Shoes on, music on, dance partner by your side. 9.30pm, after long day in the office, you'd rather soak in the bath tub and enjoy glass of wine, but no, for the next hour you try box turns, chase, promenade and miss your steps too many times.

Saturday, once a week workout...shame, you need to force yourself to use that $160/month membership more often. Current schedule is bad for your wallet and even worse for for your butt. In the afternoon you take your french class, quickly shop for wine and go over to A's home for dinner. She's already have a bottle of wine open and dinner's almost ready. She cooks! You haven't had home cooked dinner for ages. She is a great girl with similar interests to yours. You leave pass 11pm.

Sunday, you wake up at noon...shower, dress, and hop in a cab to meet V. at Mesa Grill for brunch. Spend two hours catching up followed by an hour of shopping at Barney's. At 4.30pm you meet with A over at The Frick for a piano concert. One of the most pleasant concerts you've seen recently.

Bangkok, Thailand



After 22 painful hours on the Cathay Pacific flight arrived to hot and dirty Bangkok. Glad to explore the city, surely will not come back. The Thailand beaches are the spots to settle, the city of Bangkok deserves a day or two. See the Grand Palace, Floating Markets, enjoy daily massage and local foods - move on.

Buddhist temples: Wat Trimitr; Wat Po
Damneon Saduak floating market
Rose Garden
Thai village

Off to Singapore tomorrow.
