Back in America

Because of the continuing protests, my mother decided that it was time to pull me out of the country and bring me back to America. I fully disagree with her decision. Bangkok is perfectly safe as long as you are smart, just like most cities in the world.

For my last day in bangkok we went to the Pata Department store to go see the private zoo that is on the top floor and roof. it was surprisingly nice. I even got to see a bearcat. We then went to the restaurant Cabbages and Condoms to have dinner with Johnny and Louis. It was a safesex themed resturant, and gave out condoms instead of mints at the end of the meal. unfortunately the condoms were 'thai sized'. The meal, however, was delicious. We ate Thai-style (which is family style) and ordered a whole chicken, 2 whole fish, and a bowl of curry. It was fantastic.

After the delicious dinner we went to Emporium, a luxury mall, to get some supplies for the going away party that was to happen on the roof that night. Steve, Johnny and Louis bought fancy cigars, Steve going for a pricey Cuban, and i purchased a bottle of Johnny Walker Green Label to share. (i have no appreciation for the different tastes of the rum as it goes up in expense, but I knew other people would).

A good handful of people were out traveling but called us to wish us a farewell. We partyed into the night untill around 3am when Steve and I had to leave for the airport. It was a good and proper send off.
