Oh Thank Heaven

7-Eleven.

It's everywhere here, and it is great. There are very very few garbage cans in Bangkok, so we are constantly finding ourselves carrying trash around for hours. Enter 7-Eleven. It's always air conditioned to about 15 C and invariably has a garbage can. Made a believer out of me.

On Friday we went to the National Musuem. An okay collection of artifacts and a good history of Thailand over the past 300 years or so. The country seems to have a strong rivalry with Burma, reflected in the museum exhibits. ("And then we kicked Burma's @ss again" seemed to be the common theme).

On the way out of the museum, we were bombarded by a passing bird. It's like we're magnets for bird poop.
