Bangkok, 24 July 2011

The weather is agreable in the morning, but progressively gets warmer and muggier as the day goes on. Although it is Sunday, people are milling about Siam Paragon and the Siam Discovery Centre. It's difficult to imagine so many people at once. It's not for the faint-hearted! Particularly given the constant noise level of people chatting, walming and music playing. In the middle of the mostnup-market shopiing mall areas, we walk past building sites. The BTS Sukhumvit line is having problems and even more people seem to be milling on the walk-ways. It doesn't help that we as Westerners tends to walk much faster than the average Thai...
It's refreshing to have a Sunday "off". what is God's lesson for me today? Perhaps to learn to relax and go with the flow. I miss gping to church, but I am also learning that enjoying the simpler pleasures in life: reveling in the difference and exotic nature of our surroundings, despite the trappings of a First World, cosmopolitan city.
