My 1st Morning in Bangkok!

Bangkok is a city that is full of contrasts. The paved streets filled with cars, motorbikes, taxis, tuks-tuks and  bicycles. The skyscrapers filling the downtown skyline and the hundreds of ancient temples that are scattered all around the city. First thing in the morning On took me to the morning market and she pointed out different Thai specialities. I got to try several different Thai sweets and they were very good. Afterwards, I walked from On's house to the Golden Mount temple. Climbing all the way to the top of the temple took awhile, but the climb was worth it for the view. The day was pretty clear and I could see across the city.
