Sooo... I went down to the pier at about 10 this morning, but a guy there said "*wave* NO BOAT!", so uh. >_> Went back to where some tuk-tuk guys had been lobbying me and asked them how much it would be to get to Siam Sq, and one said 100B, so I was like uhm... no, I don't think so, I can get the boat for 12. >_> So he said "Special Discount for you :D 50B~ And one stop come to see my sponsor." so ehh.. I really needed to get moving so I said alright and off we went.
In the end he took me to two of his sponsors and said "Look, just go in there, pretend you are interested for 10 minutes and I get free gasoline. you get me free gasoline, I'll take you to MBK." So, alright, alright, 10 mins later, there I am pretending to be interested in buying a custom tailord leather jacket... and as hard as it is to keep a straight face, because I mean heck, do I look the kind of person who wears tailored clothing???
Anyway, I decided to stir things up a little by requesting fur on the collar and cuffs, and then asking what kind it was.. and was told in no uncertainty "We use the real fur, not the cotton made to look like fur, it's real and you cannot buy in market. We smuggle it =)"
...;; Great, reassuring, that is. So glad you're pleased with yourself for supporting the illegal tradein animal pelt. >_> Wankers.
Came out of there shortly afterwards and my dear driver took me to ANOTHER of his sponsers >_>; Ehh. Jewellery factory. It was actually quite interesting, until they took me out of the workroom and into the showroom. u_u Boooriiiing... anyway, I tried on a few sapphire rings, glittered a bit and made my escape.
Fiiiinally got to MBK, wandered, bought a silly hat, went looking for walking boots and was repeatedly guided away from the host shoes in the men's section.. so many... sexy... shoes... *_*;;
I found a pair of DM knockoffs that looked okay, so I asked the guy if they had them in my size. he said no, and I must've looked disappointed, beuase he told me not to be sad and sang me a song. @_@; It was bizarre.
Then I bought a hat. Went out for shoes, came back with a hat. XD Typical. Had PIE for lunch in 5th Ave.
So yeah, epic phail on that front, and then I went to CENTRAL WOOOOORLD. XD
They had a NEXT. And a Clarkes. And Pepper Lunch. The overall effect was sort of like Basingstoke Festival Place gone weird. XD Aaaaand then I got Tata Young Cds thrown at me... Which also happened today. Went into a music shop, realised I had no idea what was going on, picked up the first CD I recognised as a decoy, so I could suss things out a bit while pretending to be reading the back and "AH TATA YOUNG!! *throws tata young CDs at hori*" T^T
I was kinda tired after that, so I found the taxi rank and got approached by more tuk-tuk guys who said 200B to get back to my hotel >_> I told them that was ridiculous and offered 100B, and then we agreed on 150B, cus screw it, I was tired and wanted home. >_> Turns out it was a reeeally long way, so he earned his £2.50 XP I didn't realise tuk-tuks could go that fast, man, wow. XD;;
