Benjasiri Park

I've been pondering my reasons as to why I'm living here and the things I like about Thailand. I always think about those things after saying good bye to everyone back home again.

To spare you from my deep thoughts of my reasons for living here, I'll skip to sharing with you one of the things I like about Thailand.Taking a walk through the park is pretty cool. There's always lots of activity in the morning and evening. (Everyone escapes to the indoors with AC in the afternoons.) Benjasiri Park is 5 minutes away and I walk through it to get to the sky train. There's...

group aerobics...Tai Chi...an outside gym...a skate park...basket ball, volley ball and a game similar to hacky sack expect they use a wicker ball and a net.I often go to the park to enjoy the little nature that a big city offers. I've joined the group aerobics quite a few times, it's free and really fun. (I run at a different park that has a longer path.) Since there's always loads of people there it's a great place to people watch which I've always been entertained by.

Back to Bkk

I was awake at 4:30 this morning. I love jet lag! My goal is to keep this schedule. I get so much accomplished when I get up early. Well, maybe I'll push it to 5:30.

So the trip home was great! Seeing everyone, the cooler weather, great food and beer and the shopping. But I must honestly say it's also nice to get back to a routine. I always end up feeling a bit "off" after 3 weeks of little routine.

One fun thing I did was go to the zoo with my sister, my sister-in-law and her kids. We had a great time! I was much more interested in my niece and nephew than the animals. They had a great time. Here are a few photos.
