Today is Labor Day in Thailand. Because of this, my friend Jenna had a holiday from work (she always works weekends!) We decided to spend the day together, and where better to start our day than at Big C Extra on Rama 4? This particular Big C is amazing because it has a section with imported items that are cheap, cheap, cheap! Jenna and I were on the hunt for swimwear because earlier in the week, the girls in my building were raving about their new "bathers". Excuse me, you're what? You know, "bathing costumes". Huh? Oh right, right, right. Bathing suits. Anyway, who really cares what you call 'em when bottoms are 20 baht (that's $0.57) and tops are 40 baht ($1.15). I spent 200 baht ($5.74) which got me 4 pairs of bottoms and 3 tops. The kicker: these suits are Old Navy, JCPenney, OP, Joe Boxer & New Look. Since we didn't break the bank by buying bathing suits, we stopped by a food stall to try kanom bueang, a thai dessert taco. We tried one made with egg, coconut, cheese and raisins and another that had coconut with curry flavoring. I definitely could've done without the curry flavored one! The best part of the day however, was brunch at BKK Bagel Bakery. This place has actual New York Style bagels! I tried a corned beef and poached egg hash accompanying a sesame bagel with honey walnut cream cheese- mmmm! delicious. To end the day we went for a night swim in our new suits. #bkkfordealseveryday
