The street was jammed with busses

The photo shows a street view of Bangkok, Thailand in 2003. I took this photo through the window of my hotel room of Baiyoke Sky Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. Traffic jam in Bangkok used to like the photo shows. Colourful vehicles were waiting in a line to move forward, but they seemed just jammed and just stayed there. By the way, Baiyoke Sky Hotel is located in Pratunam area as well as Baiyoke Suite Hotel. I've stayed at Baiyoke Sky Hotel twice, and have stayed at Baiyoke Suite Hotel once. They were very nice hotels with very convenient locations.

Walk along a shoreline

The photo shows a beach in Ko Samet (a.k.a. Samet island, Thai: เกาะเสม็ด) in Rayong province, Thailand. Ko (Thai: เกาะ, also spelled Koh in English) means island. To get to Ko Samet, I spent a night at a hotel in Rayong, and the following morning, took a ferry to get to the island. I spent a few laid-back days in Ko Samet and after that backed to the capital Bangkok. If my memory is correct, a Thai local told me that Ko Samet is the third largest island of Thailand, and I was also told that the largest island of Thailand is Phuket.

Goldstar on tap on the beach

I took this photo at a restaurant on a beach in Tel Aviv, Israel. I stopped by the restaurant for lunch. But first, I ordered Israeli beer. My table was right next to the beach. So, after Goldstar was served on tap, I took this photo first, then after that I started to enjoy the beer, the atmosphere, and everything under the perfect weather. It was the day before my departure and I already really loved Israel. While viewing the beach with the glass of beer in hand, I was thinking when I will be able to come back to Tel Aviv again. I went back to Tel Aviv three years later.

A quarter century is such a long time

The photo shows my breakfast which I had at my hotel in Milan, Italy. I might mentioned somewhere in this blog, but I say again, I'm a big fan of Italian cuisine for over a quarter century. I really love pasta and risotto, but not only pasta or risotto, I love many more Italian cuisine. When I was in Italy, I was always thinking about food, and I was like "what will I be eating for lunch today and where?", "what will I be eating for dinner tonight and where?", and it was so much fun to think about it, and actually had them.
