We're Not in Kansas Anymore

Passed thru Taipei briefly and landed in Bangkok a few hours later.  OMG, this is like NYC on steroids.  Crazy, crazy busy -- activity does not stop.  Traffic unbelievable but finally came to hotel which was great!  Rooms a little small, but I guess if so much of Bangkok wasn't flooded, it wouldn't make any difference -- we'd be out and about much more.  Seems like my touring city will have to wait.  My son introduced me to a friend he has known for some time and we went to visit her family home.  Got my first real taste of  magnanimous giving -- she had not much to speak of, but she spent 5 hours pampering me to best of her ability because I was "mom."  What a special treat!
