Sorry for the lapse in posting-- Josh has another one of his encyclopedic posts in progress, but hasn't finished it yet. After he's gotten that one up I'll post something about the elephants we met in Chiang Mai...
In the meantime, a few fun things have happened to us:
- Our main shipment from the US arrived. Hooray! Our apartment is now a bit cluttered, but we'll get everything stowed away soon.
- We got a chance to see "Forbidden Kingdom", the new Jackie Chan/Jet Li flick. Fun! It had some nice inspiration from some of the more fun Chinese legends, particularly the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.
- Tomorrow we are going on a day trip to Ayutthaya, the old capital of Thailand (from the mid-1300's to the mid-1500's). This is a trip run by the Shangri-La Hotel, down by the Chao Phraya river: we take a bus upriver to the site (a trip of a couple of hours), tour around, then hop on a boat to have lunch and cruise back to Bangkok. Hopefully we'll get some good pictures.
That's all for now, but watch this space for details...
