My travel story in Bangkok

This summer, tripped to Bangkok I took a trip  with my family for 7 days and 9 nights. Actually (no need here) To be exact, we spent four days in Bangkok, and for the rest of the trip we went to Pattaya. four days were the exact duration time in Bangkok and the last of days, we went to Pattaya.

Our first visiting place The first place we visited in Bangkok was the " Grand Palace."  <em>(period inside) </em>We took the BTS and got off at the Saphan Taksin station. From there, we had to take a water bus such as a boat or ferry running on Chaophraya river to go to the palace. According to the tour guide book for Bangkok that I borrowed from a library, that's one of the ways of going there. Of course, you can take a taxi, especially considering the fact that Bangkok's taxi fare is fairly cheap. but I, however, don't think that's a good idea because of the heavy traffic in Bangkok. I know this because I exprienced the horrible traffic jam myself while I stayed there. I had to spend over three hours in a taxi to go some place where it would take less than 30 or 40 minutes if I had taken bts or water bus instead.

The water bus terminal wasn't that far from the BTS station. It was only five minutes walking distance. When I got there, I spotted a tourist information desk, so I went and asked about which water bus we should take to go to the palace. She only said, "100 baht for a person" while pointing at a boat parked nearby. As a result, we purchased four tickets for 400 baht and aboarded (boarded) that boat with assissting assistance from a man looking who looked like a crewman. The gap between the boat and the land we stand stood on was wide, and the boat was moving a little bit precariously by the water. I was instantly worried my daughter's tiny feet might fall into the gap or something. So I was thankful when he held out his hand to assisst us to aboard (board) the boat. But to my dismay, my appreciation stopped here. Later, I found out that there was a much cheaper option, which and it was only 15 baht per person. I could have saved a lot of money here!!!! For the more Furthermore, the boat didn't depart right away and kept postponing departure whenever new customers came.

[Really great entry :) It's unfortunate that you had to encounter that kind of a situation though. :/ Hope you still had a great time in Thailand with your family!) 

Hi Alicia,

I think it's normal for people to not comment on your perfume, especially if they are strangers. They might be scared that you will think it is weird or feel as though they are hitting on you. I'm sure your perfume smells great though :) You shouldn't worry too much about how other people view your outer appearance though, it doesn't matter what others think. I hope you're able to move past this and jsut having fun learning languages on italki. Have a great day! :D

Rio Water Planet

As you know, I live in Rio and we have a lot of good sights here. Anyway, if you come visit Brasil, you have to take a trip to Rio Water Planet, which is an aquatic park with a good area and lots of swimming pools. I don't earn anything talking about that, but I'm associated and I usually go there at least once a month. It's a good place to have some fun with the family as well as to relax by watching shows in the swimming pool or taking a float down the slow river.

There are lots of attractions at Rio Water Planet. There's a wild river in which we can sit in a float and slide through caves and around waterslides. There is a VIP area in which only associates can privately stay. It also includes exclusive swimming pools, grills, soccer fields, and tennis courts. 

Next week I'm going there again to relax and have some fun.

DEAR FUTUREME

Dear FutureMe,
As you may or may not remember, I wrote this to you from the past. As of today, you are 25 years old and your whole future is ahead of you. I’m creating this time capsule as a way of reminding you of who you were when you were 20, and to give you a smile in 2020.
You’ll definitely be working as a civil engineer in Cosapi or G&M. You'll see that all the effort that I've put in has paid off. Just imagine it-- traveling, working, meeting new people, speaking English, etc. I am proud of you and this makes me feel simply over the moon. You always have to look on the bright side!
I hope you never stop reading books and filling yourself with knowledge. I wish to see that you can speak the five languagues that we promised ourselves to learn. Well, little by little, don’t despair! We’ll find a way out! Tell me, can you at least speak English and Japanese?
Please my future Dennis, I know you’re a bit serious; don’t be cynical, change that! I look forward to seeing you with a girlfriend!
Well, that’s another story. I wish I could be there with you to see what it’s like. You are a wondrous man. The world is yours!
Until next time.
Your younger self, Dennis.

Great letter! Good luck, and I hope you achieve everything you're aiming for!
