Roses for love


Before leaving for Canada, I spent one night just walking around Central World.

There were the usual X-mas shoppers, beer garden attendees, and this scene, near the the shrines in front of C.W.

Apparently, on every Thursday, single Thais offer dozens of red roses to this shrine in hopes of meeting their "true love".

Considering the high cost of a dozen red roses in Canada, I was really surprised to see mountains of these flowers.

Frozen Yogurt



I came across this really neat frozen yogurt shop in a small strip mall called "Fruz Berry".

The shop served up "help yourself" cups of frozen yogurt in various flavors: coconut, plain, blueberry, strawberry, mango, and others.

Next, you moved to the shop's "toppings area", which had fresh fruit, smarties, mini oreo cookies, chocolate sprinkles and more.


Adding the toppings:


Once you finished, you put your cup on the scale, where it was weighed. Every 10 grams = 10 Baht. The total was about 90 Baht.(=$1.27) A great, cool treat.
