Hi Paula,
Greetings from Bangkok! Fernando and I are having a really good time! lt's a
great city for shopping. Yesterday, we went to a huge weekend market. lt was
full of really interesting things to buy, especially clothes. And the prices are
great! Things here are not nearly as expensive as they are at home. Of
course, Fernando tells me l'm spending too much money, but you know him.
He never buys anything!
Have you ever eaten Thaifood? lt's delicious! We just had a wonderful
dinner in one of the restaurants on the river. Fernando ordered green
curry and rice, and I had my favorite dish, Mee Krob - crispy noodles
with shrimp and
chicken. For dessert, we had fried bananas. Everything was so good! lt
was also fun to watch the boats pass by!
One thing l've noticed is that sorne restaurants make their curries less spicy
for foreigners. Yesterday, 1 told our waiter, "This curry isn't hot enough for
us!" He smiled and said, "Sorne foreigners don't like spicy food." Then he
brought us another curry that was muéh hotter.
Time to stop. We're flying home tomorrow, so 1 '11 see you
soon! Rosa
