Today was a busy day because it was the weekend and this was the only weekend where my sister and I would get to spend the full day together. So first we went out for breakfast. I was trusting my sister to know where she was going but she ended up getting us lost. So I insisted we go back to a mall area. I just wanted something quick to eat so we could start our activites, nothing fancy
like my sister. After that we went to Ekkamai where this huge Japanese-style mall was located. I. FOUND. HEAVEN! I bought some Japanese Magazines because why buy Thai magazines when I can actually READ Japanese? Happie Nuts and Vivi were among the selection. I even stumbled upon a a maid cafe! It was the only one in Thailand too. Lucky, much. The girls were so nice and even thoguh I knew pictures weren't allowed, I asked anyway. They said no :( No worries, I took a picture of the sign. I was fangirling like a true otaku.
After exploring that mall and all it's treasures we headed to MBK. How do you describe MBK? MBK is flawless (high fives to those who know that reference). Seriously though, MBK is not for everyone. It's a bargain mall. That's really all I have to say about it. There's lots of electronics, pirated DVD's and music, phone cases galore, and amazing food. It's def. a tourist's spot. After that adventure, we got on the BTS and headed toward Saphran Taksin and took the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Asiatique. Asiatique is my second home. Yeah, it takes a long time to get there, bu damn is it worth it. This is the Atlantic Station to Atlanta, the Times Square to New York. Everybody comes here, esp. tourists and on the weekends. It's a hot spot to see. After all the shopping and eating, I was beat and ready to go home to start another day.

IT'S WEEKEND MARKET TIME! This is what I came to Thailand for. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is the most hectic, exciting, and the most Thai thing you will ever experience. Everybody comes here on the weekend. There's cheap food and clothes. What more could you ask for. There's a little section where all the young adult clothing is located and let me just say I would work there for free. The vibe is like a mini hipster Bonnaroo going on. After spending most of the day there, we headed over to Terminal 21. This is the place where I frequently visited because it's SO DAMN AWESOME. There's about five levels of shopping and one floor dedicated to food. Lawd have mercy, why wasn't I born Thai? Also, the students in their uniforms walking around is the cutest thing I've ever seen. It's like an anime up in Terminal 21.

Today was a day to myself, as usual. I took the Skytrain to Victory Monument, trying to stay away from shopping for today and just sightsee a little. I failed miserably because who would've thought there was a mall just like the weekend market. Cheap clothes and food #brokepeopleproblems. I bought a skirt and some shorts. After getting bored of people watching I went back to Ekkamai and had lunch at a ramen shop. BEST. RAMEN.EVER. I had finally tried Naruto and it's sort of chewy and doesn't have a taste. It was a good day.
