EmQuartier Mall Opening

Yesterday saw the opening of the new mall opposite Emporium, EmQuartier.  As is the norm in Bangkok, the place is not finished, so floors were roped off at the top and workmen were still scurrying around the place.  

Storm Damage

As well as brining down trees in the road, the storm earlier this week also blew a tree onto our condo's spirit house.  They cut down the remaining trees around the shrine today and will plant some low level bushes instead.

Of course the staff here are worried as to them, this means bad luck.  The condo manager told me a horrible story.  An hour after the shrine was damaged, one of the staff got a call to tell him that his son had died.   Coincidence?

Some time soon we will get a new shrine.  Sadly I will probably be away when it is installed, I am sure it will be fascinating to watch.

Bangkok Monsoon

Emporium now has a lovely new upper entrance, but they have yet to finish the covered path to the BTS.  With the heavy rain yesterday, the poor guards were kept busy ferrying shoppers under large umbrellas to the train.  

Arizona Road Trip:

 It has been too long since I have written on our blog.  Problems, problems, and more problems had beset it.  When I returned from our Panama Canal cruise (I forgot to post that one first!), my computer had died and we ended up buying a new Mac.  A lot has happened between  November and now and I am just getting the hang of things again.

When is it too late to...

When is it too late to wear sexy clothes?  

Never, going by the latest Dolce & Gabbana windows. These women looked great!
