Birthday Weekend

As threatened, I dragged a few friends with me to TawanDaeng again this weekend to celebrate my birthday. I was amazed that the band's set was completely different than it was a few days before. It (as well as the beer and the food) was still outstanding.

All in all it was a great weekend. First there was TawanDaeng on Friday. Then on Saturday, I took my first pasa thai (Thai Language) class at BU. I think it's going to be a good class -- I'm still hopeful that I will be able to carry on a simple conversation in Thai by the end of the year.

On Sunday, Steve (one of my friends from SF who is visiting Bangkok this weekend) did a tour of the Grand Palace and other Bangkok tourist spots while Francois (the other visiting friend) and I headed up the San Saep canal to the WaterPark on the roof of the Mall Bangkapi where we had a great time, as usual.
