Since I didn't have a Christmas break, I wasn't expecting a New Year's one; so it hit me as a rather-late-yet-pleasant surprise that my school would be closed on both Dec 31st and Jan 1st - as my 'weekends' start on Wednesday, this meant that I would have four days off...
Dec 31st Spent the last day of 2012 with Ellen. We started by going for a walk in the Dusit District - we were expecting to find a park but found lots of concrete instead; it was worth it nevertheless. We treated ourselves to a foot massage in the afternoon and, in the evening, got together for dinner in a cozy restaurant not far from MBK.
Ellen had to wake up early the next day so she decided to go back to the hotel at around 11 p.m. After saying goodbye, I made my way to Central World - the place in the city where most people wait for the countdown. So at the stroke of midnight, there I was, in a not-so-bad spot, surrounded by I-don't-know-how-many-people, welcoming a brand new year.
Jan 1st The first day of 2013 was as chilled as they come. I would highlight the toast I had in the afternoon; for some reason, it was served with two scoops of pure, unadulterated... butter. I kid you not! At least it wasn't vanilla ice cream; I'm not really a fan of vanilla ice cream. If there's something an ice cream shouldn't have is... vanilla.
Jan 2nd Time to pay a visit to Siam Ocean World, the city's very own aquarium. What did I learn? That salmon is not the largest freshwater fish. There are true monsters lurking in rivers and lakes so be afraid. Be very afraid.
Jan 3rd No relaxing time is wasted time. Spent the afternoon swimming in the pool. Have you ever noticed just how silent the world becomes as soon as your ears are under water?
