Staying at a hotel, Star Dome, on the cheap along tourist central Khoasan Road, above the bars playing nonstop cover song after cover song until 2 in the morning. Needless to say, sleep did not come easy. Thankfully, I only had to manage three nights in this predicament while we waited for our placement company to take us apartment shopping. One of the nights we stayed up till 2am, anticipating the loud music, and watched one of my new favorite shows, Curb Your Enthusiasm, on my roommates hard drive. Now, I’m not much for TV, but this show is by Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld, so I will gladly make an exception. On day 3 Meredith and I took a walk to the Grand Palace. This particular weekend was sandwiched by a Thai holiday (Royal Ploughing Day) on the front end, Friday, and another holiday (Buddha’s birthday) on the back end Tuesday, making for a five-day weekend, so a lot of places were closed. This of course included the Grand Palace. The grounds were open and we walked through to take pictures, but the tour options to go inside were not available and the Emerald Buddha was similarly closed off to public for the day.
