Week nr 6-7 Bence in Da house !

So first of all sorry for the late update just been quite busy with having Bence here around :)
So first lets have a quick review what kind of adventures did my old pale have here during his 10 day long stay

Thanks God his plane was sharply on time, so to my greatest surprise he arrived even a bit before than i expected so we still had some time to hang out during the night, but of course didn’t wanna push too hard since jet lag still had its effect on him so we just chilled. The day after however we woke up together and Bence decided to sit with me for my classes (hehe probably he didn’t have enough of them at Bocconi... ah yea there it is not compalsury :) ... Right after that we rushed to my tailor to order him a suite so that it will be ready in time (later on actually we had a bit of problem with this guy since he had some quarrel with his landlord so had to shut down his shop and now he is on freeride... quite inconvenient to find him this way... but fortunately Ben has now his suite at the end)

Same day in the evening Oillie organized us some “free time activity” which probably was one of my sweetest experience in Bangkok... The reason for that is really simple: we went to chocolate bar : ) Interestingly it was a place that was supposed to be a club as well, so live hip-hop was on all the time which made the place quite weird cause due to the music it was not a cafeteria and due to the chocolate it was not a club either : ) somewhere between the 2 ...

Saturday turned out to be a bit more relaxing day. Having done my classes i rushed back home to pick up Bence and go to MBK (shopping Mall) just to make him have some idea about what he can buy here and for how much (i don’t think i should say that he was really satisfied with the prices, especially when he realised he can bargain a lot with the merchants : ). Tough we became really tired in the middle of day so we went home again to take a nap (which became quite loooooong) But of course the whole day cant consist of only sleeping so i decided to take him to that nice Indian place where Matt and me went together few weeks before. Well, i guess looking at the picture you can tell we had fun, Sisha + Indian food = having great time (yes Goshia that is another general rule of life :). After that we walked down a bit in China Town however did not find it too interesting since only thing you can do there is eating and by this time we were way too much full..

Previously Oillie already arranged a field trip for Sunday for which i signed up ourselves so at the end basically whole Sivalai Place went out together to Ayutthaya, the formal Capital of Thailand. I wont start listing all the exciting places we have visited cause it would take too much time (by the way you can check out the pictures on Facebook if you are really interested) We really had a great time and i think by visiting all these historical important places we managed to understand a bit better the history of the country and also Buddhist religion, which is unbelievably respected here.

Monday, this could be basically the typical tourist day in Bangkok. First we started up at the Grand Palace, which i was really happy about cause till that time i did not manage to throw a visit there personally. I must say that if you ever come here (maybe even to visit me – haaa??? Not a bad idea right...) this place is something that you must not forget to check out ! Its unbelievably beautiful. However its highly recommended to watch out for the all the local merchants and other interesting people in the area who try to sell you basically everything ! Quite annoying at the beginning but you learn by time to simply ignore them !Unfortunately this was an extremely hot day in the city so basically during the Palace visit we were just trying to run from one shadow to another cause it was unbearable staying on the sun for longer time ! That’s why we took right after this a Channel trip around Bangkok for one hour during which we managed to discover some deeply hidden part of the city (well for some of them it’s really better to be hidden...). It was also a unique experience however next time i will surely pay for 2 hours cause i think i will see even more details that case.

We had a nice surprise when we were about to go back home. Wang Lang (the place where we take the ferry from) was completely empty when we arrived back from the trip which was really strange cause usually you can hardly even more there... well this time it seemed there was something going and later it turned out we were right. It was his majesty, the King who appeared in the Hospital for whatever reason so finally i could have a look at him personally, even tough i could just see him for a sec in his golden Rolls Royce (haven’t seen a car like that before either...)

So basically that’s the first part of the story. In the evening we bought our tickets to Cambodia so we were getting ready for our departure at Tuesday afternoon. More details of this fantastic trip is coming up soon, so make sure you come back to the site often !
