12/des Attapone

Today, I'm going to start the day alone, and I like this idea. I decided to go out of bangkok to see a floating market. Not the most important one, but who knows.
The market was quite small, ridiculously small, but with small boats, with vegetables, kitchens... mostly for food, and I think that also for turists. 10 minutes far from the market, there was a little town, made by floating houses, and that was interesting. It seemed a pour area, and it was really dirty, averall under the pieces of wood used as bridges. It was very smelly as well, full of dogs and cats, no people. It was separed from the market by a train way (via de tren), were everyone was walking in.
After that, I go back to bangkok, to lay down on a park that I once was, a few days ago. After 10 minutes, a man (50 years old) came to me, and asked me the meaning of a word that I can't remember anymore. We spent the whole afternoon and evening together. He told me that there was a chinese festival in chinatown, and we went there. Thai people seem very interested in what people think about them, but as well about what people tihnk about basic life things. After paying my dinner, he gave me his telephone number, for anything I could need it.
Once in the guesthouse, I met a couple from scotland, chris and eileen, john, from new zealand, and zac from boston. We went out for a while, they seem nice people.
I great how impossible is to prepare a day in this country, because it is always much more interesting that the few things you have organize.
