Our Wedding Anniversary

My wife and I were married 50 years ago at the end of February. We were pleasantly surprised when our four daughters told us they would give us a special treat - a trip to Bangkok instead of the usual dinner at a restaurant. My daughters were all married and have children; and they left their husbands and children at home to bring us for a short holiday. It was a good trip and they enjoyed themselves especially shopping in Bangkok. Bangkok is the place to go if you love shopping because there are so many shopping malls where you can find clothing of the latest designs and prices are cheaper than in Singapore or other countries. Although I have been to Bangkok many times this trip is quite different as I did not have to think of what to eat and where to go. My daughters arranged everything and decided everything from booking flight tickets and hotel rooms to the daily itinerary. I simply follow them. Although shopping is not my cup of tea I took the opportunity to take a good rest and on one occasion I went to the bookshop in the same shopping centre to get Thai books ( I am currently learning Thai in Singapore) and the computer centre to buy a Thai keyboard to use with my computer. And of course we also enjoyed the spicy Thai food there. The traffic jam is still there everyday but we found it easier to move around by taking the train ( they call it BTS). To help shoppers move around safely they have built many overhead bridges which are linked from one shopping centre to another. The good part of this shopping trip is that we were indirectly going a lot of exercise by walking. I noticed that every day we walk at least a few kilometers and that is good for old people like us. I have been doing my daily routine exercise as home on my treadmill otherwise I would not have been able to follow them. A little advice from an old guy - keep fit by eating proper nutritious food with a lot of vegetable and fruits and exercise everyday to keep fit. If you want to travel and see places you must keep fit.
