bangkok- My Metropolis
the post worth waiting for is FINALLLY HERE!!!!

WaH KAO shiiioooooook AARRRRRHHHHHHHH!! I spent 3 of my short shopping life's most fulfilling days in BANGKOK! It truly truly truly is the world's shopping capital - or at least MINE... Now I'm back, I can't wait to recount the wonders I experienced there. One great is that the Thais are Soooooo warm, hospitable and friendly, they made my visit there even more enjoyabe! "A land of smiles" without any doubts.

And the whole city just exuberates colours! Be it the food, the traffic, the buildings, the scenery, the merchandise, the people, yes, PEOPLE (in many sense) bursts forth with COLOURS. Bangkok is SO my kinda paradise!
