Y'Orchiding!!

We stumbled in Siam Paragon last night after having dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. 81,000 flowers later, here's some of what we saw: Orchids.

I watched a programme on plant life recently that said there were 25,000 species of Orchid. Here's some of them but I'm afraid the iPhone camera wasn't up to the job this time.

Eye Level? Need a Spirit Level!

So we went to the bank to transfer some money. Namwan doing the business I was there because i was there.

We sit down and the business starts. I take it easy and lean back in my chair. Feels like a 20 degree lean.

Then 45 degrees ...

Then 90 degrees ...

Then 135 degrees ...

Then it stops. My head is on the floor and my legs are pointing at the ceiling.

That was fun! Luckily, the ride was slow otherwise i would have cracked my head. As it was, it was nice and gentle and noone  got hurt!!!

Sorry but no photo!!
