Around the world with Fez and Fizz
Well what an adventure we have had over the past 2 days!! yesterday was very eventful!! lol i had a brainwave of tryin to find the Buddah except for we didnt know wat it was called so we asked the taxi driver to take us to Chinatown which was supposedly near it. so we went there and it was the most horrible place we've ever seen! so big and dirty and it was supposed to be rly good for shoppin but we couldnt find a single shop (other than those sellin gold) :s so we decided to go back to the hotel...but tht was a mission in itself!! we stood there for ages tryin to flag down a taxi and when we finally did no one knew where our hotel was!! then finally 6 taxis later we managed to get one to understand where a road was near it!! so then we were really hungry and stopped for some lunch (we had carbonara and sweet n sour chicken and rice and it only cost bout 90p!!) but then a disaster happened!! the heavens opened and out came all the rain, and it was torrential!! and we had no choice but to run for it!! we got absolutely soaked!! AND we had to make it across the 6 lane roads (and u no wat we run like :$) you wuda all laughed! then we fell asleep lookin like drowned rats, woke up and had some dinner in the hotel before goin SHOPPING!! :D its brilliant, so much to buy!! we went on a bit of a spree last nite we have to admit!! bought quite a bit! but we r running outa room fast in these huge bags of ours so we gonna have to stop soon :'( cry cry. today has been very hot - probably bout 40degrees!! after breakfast we decided to move from our very nice hotel to something a little more affordable, so we donned our backpacks and set off across town to Khao San Road, and checked in to a cheap guesthouse. appearances can be decieving!! it had a nice marble reception and looked all posh. we asked for a room with a hot shower and were told that unfortunately they only had luxury rooms left, which were about 2pounds more, so we decided to take it due to being so tired out from our trek. well we're not too sure wat their idea of luxury is but we haven't got any bedsheets or toilet paper, and the view from the window is of a brick wall!!! oh well, sure the worst is yet to come!! but apart from tht we have not done a huge amount today, basically walked round in circles as we are so bad at map reading!! ooo not forgettin getting attacked by a thai woman who claimed to be practising her english but we secretly suspect she was tryin to rip us off in the tuk tuk business!! so anyway we went on our way after she started gettin annoyed tellin us that 20baht was nothin to us!! pff!! 25p goes along way if u try!!! so after a day of much walking and sore feet we havent actually achieved much!! ah except for the fact that we are now the sources of all knowledge!! we finally have the answer to the question....why to all thai people wear yeallow t-shirts?!! its becuase they love their king very much, so every monday they all wear a yellow t-shirt, except for if they love their king very much - then they wear one everyday!! :O:O well anyway we're off to grab some dinner!! ciao for now!! xxx
