Rice Grains

Someone recently asked me if I am without a kitchen, since I talk so much about eating out. So, here is a picture of my "kitchen", which may help you understand why I eat out most of the time (except for breakfast, when I eat my standard American cereal and milk). Sorry for catching a bit of my "living room" on the picture (i..e. the yellow stool:).

Motorcycle shops are all over the place.

Colorful piggy banks for 199 baht (about $6.00).

Now both pink and yellow shirts are in vogue for both men and women. Yellow is Monday's color, pink is Tuesday's color. Monday is the day of the week when the king was born; Tuesday, I'm assuming, is the day that the king recently wore a pink coat as he exited the hospital. (Yesterday I wore my yellow king shirt on purpose; today I wore a pink T-shirt unintentionally but fit right in with the crowd.)

And since we are now beginning the cool season (when the temperature so far has gone down into the 70's and 80's) , it is important for stores to sell hats, gloves, and scarves. For real, I just got over a nasty sore throat because of cooler weather; I used most of my two containers of Airborne!:)
