Wednesday morning, after about 3 hours of sleep, we both woke up and decided it was high time for us to get out and explore our environs. The weather was beautiful (upper 70s), and we walked around for probably an hour or so. We walked past hotels, restaurants, markets, 7-Elevens, internet cafes, houses, road-side food carts, coconut trees, banana trees, roosters in baskets, no fewer than a dozen signs advertising "Charlie's Fish and Chips", and many Buddhist temples.
Coconut tree, banana tree!
Hmmm.... A new flavor of Pepsi being test-marketed only in south-east Asia?
An American electrician's worst nightmare. :)
A wat!Wednesday afternoon we succumbed to jet-lag. Despite our best efforts to stay awake and upright, we both finally gave up and took a nap. Because neither of us had gotten more than 3 hours of sleep on the entire 31-hour journey, and we'd only slept 3 hours after arriving, we ended up napping for 4 hours! Oops!
Wednesday evening we explored the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar. It is a huge open-air market with hundreds of individual stalls offering handicrafts, clothing, jewelry, backpacks, artworks, and so on. There are also dozens of food carts and restaurants. This market goes on for blocks and is held every night. So much to see!
It's time to go walk around to stave off a jet-lag induced coma. More updates later.
