to thailand to see our grand daughter -3-

If  I didn't stay such a nice hotel in Thailand, I wouldn't have tried to eat Thai foods.
There are many kinds of fruits in Thailand, I know. But I was always afraid if they were all right for my stomach. So staying such a hotel brought me a wonderful experience.  For breakfast buffet, I could eat lots of fruits and fruits juice little by little.
If I stayed in this hotel for more than a week ( not two weeks), I wouldn't tired of breakfast buffet.



While M and Ah-chan were seeing a doctor, we went to a big mall to get some souvenir.
As a result it was the only chance to spend much time selecting them.
If M were fine, we would have gone to some famous spots. I prefer shopping time at a supermarket to sight seeing for this short trip.

Then M and Ah-chan came to our hotel. And went out to have lunch.
On the day, we had a driver.  Our son Youichi in-law usually commute by a company's car and he has an exclusive chauffeur. His name is Mr. Dung. He was a driver.
Well, in Thailand (or probably Asian countries) Japanese businessmen commute in such way. Yuki said that usually Japanese businessmen were prohibited to drive a car by themselves. How Youichi went to his office on the day? By train and "long" walk.

We had Japanese noodle for our lunch.
It is also well known that Japanese food is very delicious. So we tried. This Japanese noodle shop was recommended by Yuki's friends who often to Thailand on business trip.
--- well, well, M doesn't like soba noodle very much, so she had never been there, even though Youici had wanted. When we told him about this shop, he was really surprised and disappointed. This restaurant was very famous, and it was one of restaurants he wanted to go.



Then we went to another big mall. It was famous for a good place to take photos.
We wanted to take good pictures with Ah-chan.
However she got really grown-up. When we tried to take photos, she made a strange face. Damn!
Then we went back to M's house.

I'm thinking about "chauffeur".
I think here in Japan we don't have differences among individuals, and probably not so big rich-poor gap. (or I don't notice such things.)
However here in Thailand, M found naturally them or were told them. So M try to communicate with a chauffeur, or security guards of their condominium, not to be too much friendly, not to be too much arrogant. Ah-cahn probably learnt them naturally.
