We wouldn't want to promise anything too good....

Walking around Central World this past weekend with Mia (actually not sure if I should refer to her as Mia, a saucepan or lingerie!)we found this promotional board describing the events for Chinese New Year....

Perhaps it will be prosperous...but we can't promise anything...


And someone needs to tell the management of Central Food Hall...that Chinese New Year celebrates the Chinese Zodiac...not the Western Zodiac!

Traffic enforcement...!!

As I looked down onto the main road this morning I noticed an empty scooter sitting in the middle of the oncoming traffic lane...no rider in sight.

I watched for a few minutes whilst the oncoming traffic avoided the scooter, and then noticed that over on the side of the street was a traffic cop booking two drivers for some heinous crime they had committed, which warranted the cop leaving his scooter in the middle of the traffic and hot footing it to the pavement. Obviously driving his scooter to the side of the road was just going to take too long.

As I am in a particularly fussy mood, the first picture (if you double click on it, will show two little boxes that highlight the scooter location and the policeman!)




Unfortunately, my picture of the unattended scooter surrounded by traffic was too blurred for use...I think I was laughing too much!

I think Fumier would have been proud of him....!

Well they made me laugh.....

Grocery shopping here is great...I can actually buy Marmite and Roses' Lemon and Lime Marmalade!!! And....


And this was too good to pass up....at Siam Paragon (one of the nicest malls I've shopped in for a while), the Paragon department store has their Summer Sale on...with these signs everywhere....I couldn't help thinking how appropriate it was, given that we are in Thailand!

Billboards.....

Those of you that have been reading me for a while know that I have a few issues with the billboards that blot the landscape of Manila...in particular along Edsa...

On arriving in Bangkok last week I noticed that the road to the airport has some huge billboards...one of them is incredibly long (Samsung) I think...

It seems that the Thai govt has a few issues with the billboards....I wonder if they will be any more successful than the Philippine government?
