Bangkok

This is my second trip to Bangkok this year, marking the first week of three back-to-back courses.  We got a rather quiet group this time.  Bunch of Indonesians and a couple of disgruntled old-timers.  Most of them are enjoying their time in Bangkok (in fact it might be the reason why they chose Bangkok).

The muslims, as usual, have much concern over food and prayers.  They are serious on what's inside of the dishes.  The nearest mosque is 20 minutes away from hotel.  As Friday prayer starts at noon, some of them will have to go at 11:30 am.

For me, this is just the beginning.  I will have to fly to Cairo on Saturday.  It will be a long journey from Bangkok, while transferring to another flight at Dubai.  Then the next course will start on Sunday.
