Bangkok, Thailand

Santa Condom


Yesterday was the hiring event in Singapore, which went really well. After, we had dinner in the hotel, then Patrick and I went to the bar on the 70th floor of the hotel - it had a great view and surprisingly the best prices for beer I saw the entire time we were in Singapore.

Today, we arrived in Bangkok to 91 degree weather. This hotel is amazing, with seemingly more luxuries than the last.We had dinner at a restaurnt called Cabbages and Condoms, which is a non-profit restaurant aimed at helping avoid prostitution and the spread of HIV. They had quite a few prophylactic dressed mannequins, including a Santa Claus. 

After, a few of us headed to the legendary Night Bazaar, where I tried out my haggling skills for the first time. I was able to get some magnets, but a plate seemed beyond my reach. I may try again tomorrow as I now realize the price offered by the merchant was fair, but I'm sure I can go lower.

Hopefully tonight I can get a full night sleep, and that the event will go smoothly!
