Hello all!

Here it is finally the first post. First of all, as you have possibly noticed, it is in English, translations are so time-consuming that I cannot afford that... Sorry for any mistake I could make. Next times may be in spanish or french or english, depending on the mood!.

Should I start by the beginning?...ok let's go!.

First destination, as you already know: Bangkok, I arrived there the 21th january, on my own, the girls should come as per the 24th. Fortunately I met very nice people, specially Bertrand and Elisabeth, from Toulouse. I still remember the last night spent toghether until 4.30am drinking Singha beer...



Bangkok the city where anything goes well, very nice the transition between the old Bangkok, with the very well known Kao Sarn Road backpacker paradise, where you can even meet famous people!! (see below)



...the King's Royal Palace (awesome!)



















....and the new Bangkok with its own skytrain (a modern aerial train!) or the IT center...a sort of "El Corte Ingles" (ou Galeries Lafayette) with just 5 floors plenty of IT stuff!!. Sorry but do not have pictures of it...my hard disk just decided to erase the picture :-(

You may want to go to Chinatown, where everything can be sold or bought!, and where you can believe me, traffic is a complete chaos !!





Another good point of Thailand....food!!, you can really get it anywhere, from the traditional Thai noodles or curry, or a milk shake in a plastic bag or even the most horrendous-smelling fruit I have ever seen (or eaten, beurk!): the durian!.




Bangkok's river, Chao Praya river, has important buildings and temples along both riversides,
here you are a picture of Wat Arun, one of the most important ones. At sunset taking a boat is something special, really a high efficient stress-killer...



And for the time being, that's all folks!. After Bangkok we moved towards the east, in direction to Cambodia where I plan to stay the following 3 weeks.

See you !
