The sitting area. The cleanliness was in doubt somehow as there were cigarette ash left in the ashtray.
The working area.
It's a surprise that I could see Acropolis from the room. (it's not clear in the picture because of my poor shooting skills).

Athens, the Birthplace of Western Civilization - Snapshots
Welcome Home, the motto of 2004 Olympics Games implied the return of the premier international multi-sport event to where it began in 1896. Nevertheless, the Panathenean Stadium is now a popular tourism spot.
Guard Change Ceremony at Greek Parliament House. The uniforms of the guards are very beautiful.
Toys of the rich.
Some ordinary people walked between cars to sell flowers and newspapers. It's really a dangerous way.

New Experience in Bangkok - Siam Ocean World
I doubt aquarium is a pre--set activity on my leisure trip itineraries. In Bangkok, we visited Sea World, a large-scale and fun aquarium. Kids loved the dancing show at the entrance of the aquarium.
Tiny curious eel-like little things peeked at visitors from sands.
Beautiful Pterophyllums.
Colorful tropical fishes swimming here and there.
Hardly found the sea otters from the rocks if they did not move.
The penguin was in hurry.
Shark can be found in every aquarium.
Modern housing style for fishes. This installation carried a message to remind human not to throw any rubbish in the water to harm marine creatures.
A staff was busy washing coral.

New Experience in Bangkok - Amphawa Evening Floating Market and Frefly Watch
The second destination was Amphawa Evening Floating Market. Amphawa is a small district which is rich in heritage and history.
A little shop in Anphawa. I remember a friendly volunteer reminded my friend and me to be careful of our belongings.
Fish ball like snacks tasted spicy.
Doggie for sale? Not sure who posted a price tag on this lovely dog.
The famous floating market attracted number of visitors, including my friend and me. Most hawkers were selling food.
Our target was seafood which was delicious and cheap. The only drawback was there were many disturbing flies.
Full of energy after a big meal and it's the time to visit firefly on our private boat.
Bon voyage. Lots of fireflies lightened up their yellow or green bulbs on their tails busy flying trees on a river at night was such an amazing scene. I do miss it and hope can see it again. To protect the little bugs, we must not shoot them with flash. Otherwise, you will send them to death.

New Experience in Bangkok - Mae Klong Railway Market
My friend enrolled a private tour so that we could explore somewhere new. The tour guide took us to Mae Klong Railway Market located in the Samut Sonogram Province.
We entered salt producing area on the way.
The windmills nearby for draining up water and filtering salt.
Here's the fun part of the Mae Klong Railway Market. There were only several trains passed the market daily. So the street hawkers occupied the tracks most of the time and only gave way when the trains approaching.
Various kinds of lovely eggplants.
Food packed in bags which local people bought for instant dishes.
Our tour guide recommended this yummy snack.
