I'm just about to leave Thailand and flying to Egypt. Earlier I went to an ancient city that use to be the capital of Thailand but when the armies of Myanmar invaded in the 1700's It became a ruin. In some of the small hollow dome ruins were bats waiting for night to come. There were dozens! Then we headed to a nearby canal we saw catfish even freshwater turtles! I even got to touch a shell of one! We fed them as well as the catfish. The turtles ate the food one pellet at a time in a single snap .
Yesterday we drove to the floating market and the dangerous market. The floating market was on a smelly canal while the dangerous market was on a railroad track! Everyday the train comes and people have to move their goods to the side and when the train passes they put them back to sell. I saw a catfish getting chopped (which made me sick) and snakes and frogs to eat! The floating market was really amazing they sold slide whistles and other instruments and toy weapons made of wood, such as spears, swords, crossbows even guns! I'm going to miss the tasty Thai food while I'm gone but the ones in turkey and Egypt will be just as delicious. (Egyptian food by the way, never tried) Well let's hope it will be tasty.
Love reading your blog Steele. Keep posting, they always make me smile:)
ReplyDeleteI am sure the food will be interesting in Egypt.
