I've got nothing

There's not much important to say...we have had a pretty normal week, although the kids and I did drive in to pick Dan up from work and shop at the mall on Tuesday! We parked at Dan's work and walked from there to the mall, which I think is about 1/2 mile away. But you can't just walk to the mall in downtown busy Bangkok, you have to walk to the corner, walk down a couple of blocks, go up to an overpass walkway, walk back a couple of blocks and a couple more to get to the right mall, then enter the mall, which is a huge 7 story monstrosity. The mall is my favorite so far here in Bangkok. It has everything grouped together, as best as they can - all the kid's stores together, all the running shoes/athletic stores together, music stores together, etc. Pretty good, except if you can't find what you need, then you can't find any other store that might carry it, either because they are all located together!

Anyway, we got to eat at the Food Loft there, which has foods from all over the world that you can choose from: Indian, Thai, Japanese, Italian, Steak, Chinese...and Drinks, desserts and all sorts of yummy stuff! It is great for our family because it is a nice treat, beautiful setting with waterfalls cascading down walls, but informal. The kids get a slice of pizza each with french fries, I get Indian Butter Chicken Curray and Dan got some kind of asian noodles and spring rolls...then we got Mango w/ Sticky Rice for dessert and Dan surprised us with a Banana Fritter w/ chocolate chip ice cream! It rocked!

After that, we couldn't find the store we needed, so we ended up walking all over the mall, going from level to level until we finally asked someone and found the store we needed...then we still had to head back to the car a 1/2 mile away. The kids did great, never complained about the walking and were good, good listeners in downtown Bangkok during crazy 7:30pm rush hour. A motorbike almost ran over Kylie (which was my fault), but we all made it safely back to the car, without anyone fussing! A real feat in our household! :) And soooo much fun!
