The Abandoned Bag (Thailand Travel Diary #2)

I shared a row of seats with a ravenous Italian couple during the flight to Hong Kong. They ordered a private breakfast (BEFORE the included breakfast was served), ate two platters each, as well as my croissant and shortbread! What famine is going on over there?! I wanted to ask,

Confident Smile No.1! (Thailand Travel Diary #8)

It was the “Magic Festival” across the road. A loud and proud band played on stage facing four rows of food stalls. I’ve sampled a few different things, but not from the insect stall (yet). Need to start getting used to the future of food. There was also an animal
