Today I got up early and managed to get in a bit more action. I went to breakfast and got the pad thai because the vender told me it was the thing to do.

After that I hit the Streets and saw a bunch of cool street art and graffiti on my way towards a large outdoor market that specilizes in selling Thai amulets. I bought a Buddha amulet that will hopefully help me do well in my studies and research here over the next few months.

After hanging out in the markets for a while I took a ferry across the river into Thonburi where I spent time walking the streets looking for food and feeling good. I saw some fun stuff like an old wat (temple) and this turtle playing with a toy gun. After hanging out in Thonburi in the morining, I hopped back across the river and hung out at Tommasat University where I spent a little time looking around and trying really really hard to figure out where Iibrary is located. Here is a hint: it’s underground, so you will not see it.

After that fun time I took a taxi for a bit so that I could climb up a big hill with a temple on top know as the golden mount. It was a sweaty experience climbing up this thing in the heat, but the view was really good. After wandering around this area of town for a long time, I decided to head home get dinner and take it easy.
