Last couple weeks in Bangkok...

DEEP FRIED ICECREAM!!!!!

 My last few weeks in Thailand I stuck around Bangkok.  Finals were in mid-May and I figured I should do some proper studying and appreciate the city while I could.

The Bangkok Cultural Centre was just down the road from out hotel, across from MBK, and turned out to be  a really nice place to study.  Art displays on each level of the building and AMAZING deep fried ice cream!!!!!!!!!

There also happened to be traditional Thai dancers one day I was there...

Finally on one of our last days in Bangkok we got around to doing a group lunch and pool party!  It was a beautiful sunny day! We all had lunch and just chilled by the pool all afternoon!

The weekend before our finals we were invited to a dinner with Dartmouth Alums.  There is a Dartmouth club in Bangkok and the president of the club held a dinner for us at his house.  He had it catered by his company, he owns a grocery/restaurant chain called Foodland.

Sadly only one other alum showed up, so we had food for 15 people for only 5 of us! I have never been so full before in my life!!!!!!!!

Lobster in the centre surrounded by smocked salmon in spoons with seaweed salad underneath, assorted cold cut meats around... very elaborate!

 It was a nice dinner, pictures will show they went over and above! Chocolate profiteroles, filled with chocolate, in chocolate cups!!!

 On our way to the Dartmouth Dinner we stopped off very briefly at one of the nicest Sky Bar's in Bangkok, Sirroco Sky Bar.  A bunch of our friends were going but we could only make a brief showing as we had to make it to the dinner.  It was beautiful but the prices I think made us happy we were only there for a brief showing!

Just another funny sign in a cab on our drive that night...
