Aussies, Anyone?

It doesn't seem to matter where you go, Aussies pop up everywhere. But not that I'm complaining. The last few weeks we've had two charming Australians attend our evening service at ICB, and I made sure to offer them my tour guide services.

The first one was Terry, from Perth. He was on his way to India and Nepal, and decided to take a three day stopover in Bangkok just to explore before heading on. We met up at Starbucks Monday afternoon, discussed the mysteries of the universe, went to Soi 38 for dinner(mangoes and sticky rice!!),

checked out the top of the Baiyoke Tower,


and ended our evening at the Saxophone to hear Koh Mr Sax Man.

He messaged me from Nepal and said he's having a great time; hopefully he'll return to Bangkok again soon so we can hang out again. :)

Aussie number two was Matt, from Sydney. Here on business, Matt was more than grateful to have a friend to hang out with(he more than expressed his boredom with the city in our after-church noodle group, to which I insisted that he just didn't know how to explore correctly). We met up on both Monday evening and Wednesday evening; Monday followed essentially the same path that my Monday with Terry had(Sax Man is only there on Mondays),

and Wednesday we had roti, some delicious food at Tapas,

I helped him do some shopping in the markets along sukhumvit, and then we finished our evening with traditional Thai massages in Chong Nonsi.

He left last Friday, but will be back again (on business again) in January, so we'll likely do more exploring when he returns.

Don't worry! Flo still has my heart. <3
