It was back to a "kids" day for our third day in Bangkok, and they took full advantage of their itinerary-planning power: relaxing morning at the hotel, lunch at Burger King at the mall and ice skating. Yes...ice skating. I swore off all things cold and winter related this year, so ice skating was not on my "to do" list. However, if I have to spend time in a skating rink, Bangkok is where I want to do it.
The strip of ice was on the first floor in the middle of a gigantic shopping mall. I was surrounded by shops and restuarants. Pop music played at a reasonable volume. The ice was rather wet - a gigantic puddle, in fact. The skates were rather blue - like the ski boots we never saw this winter. And, the whole experience cost a small fortune, but the smiles on Brianna and Nolan made it worth everty last baht.

Our transport was a water taxi.
That should count for some culture points, right? |
 |
| Mall rink...oh yeah! |
 |
| Barefoot with bootie skates - eeew. |
 |
| Much more fun than the mini-walkers at home |
 |
| Priceless smile |
 |
| Skating or shopping? |

Is that James Dean leaning on a pole, sipping a Big Gulp, waiting for a water taxi?
