We awoke early this morning to go out, explore Bangkok again and pick up some clothing we had ordered to be made. Our room is on the top 5th floor of the G.H. with a small balcony looking out into large, tall trees. It had rained in the evening and we had missed it.
In the afternoon we went to China Town to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It is a large China Town, along the river, filled with many restaurants, shops and many, many people dressed in red celebrating. We ate dim sum for dinner to give us a taste of home. We caught the local boat back to the area our G.H. is in. It was a lovely ride in the evening and a short walk to our G.H. What a lovely day it was -- there seems so much to do and so little time.
The Chinese have bid adieu to the Year of the Dragon and gracefully welcomed the Year of the Snake. The Chinese New Year 2013 has been enthusiastically celebrated across the world, to mark the arrival of the Water Snake - which Chinese astrology considers powerful and associated with the notion of Karma.
