After a nice sleep I got myself a great shower and weaponed with a fresh mango shake (for 50 cents :-) I got drowned into the endless shopping of Banglampuu (around Khao San Road). Traffic is crazy in Bangkok and you seriously have to watch out not to be killed by one of the frequent tuk tuk's (3 wheeled motorcycles) or taxi drivers!

It definitely has something of Porta Portese in Rome and reminded me right away again of this years shopping in Beijing. Fake clothes as far as you can see and everybody promises you the best price. I took my time and just looked around. And just lookign, I couldn't believe what I saw, afer I heard someone calling " Ja Boris...!" , No way. I met Adrian, a friend back from University, who just arrived today in Bankok to travel in Thailand for 4 months! The world is small indeed!! well, then, I am off to get ready for tonight. Hasta la vista!!

Thailand is amazing! You can get a mobile SIM card with credit included for about 5 US$! And so I did straight away last night. So whoever wants to contact me, feel free to do so on +66 409 21 678.
Hardly connected, I received my first call from Susanne in Germany, who guided me like a professional remotely through Bankok's traffic nightmare to reach David's appartment by river and skytrain! Thanks again Susi ;-)
David made me all excited about my trip to Myanmar, showing me his greatest pictures! After that he took me out for dinner to a great spot where I had my first taste of delicious Thai Food.

Thanks again Dave! The next one is on me!
After a little stroll thouth bustling Phiphat and Patpong, I went to catch up on some necessary sleep! Enough for the first day!
