In transit in Bangkok

A quick update since internet is expensive here. We've arrived in Bangkok already several hours ago. I must say i find the shops quite boring after a while. The only shops Sandra likes are bookshops. So no use hanging out with her for too long (that girl can seriously get stuck in a bookshop).
This morning started good already. At first the hotel gave us a wake-up call 15 minutes AFTER the time we'd asked (and with only 15 minutes to spare before the taxi would come and pick us up). I had slept fairly well but Sandra had not (mosquitos tend to prefer human flesh above skunk). And good that we were awake already. We did have the most awesome car to the airport again (Kyaw Kayw had arranged that before he left), an oldtimer mercedes. At the airport they gave Sandra a hard time because of her luggage. She thought that since she had paid for 2 seats, she could bring 2 pieces of handluggage. NO, only PER PERSON. No matter whether you had paid for 2 people. So that sucked but eventually all luggage got on. Now we hope they won't make the same problem with all the next flights. After all, apparently at Thai airways you can only have 3 kg of handluggage. Sandra has 2 pieces apart from a small 'handbag'. And both of those are way over 3 kg!!! We'll see. Well , i'll post this before time is up...
