I cooked with Poo (and I liked it).
No - not with a number 2, but with a friendly lady called Poo, who runs a local charity/cooking school for do-gooders like me.
After getting up at 07.15 (earlier then when going to work), I set out on my own -and the 5 million commuters in Bangkok.
Taxis are out of the question. When you are here, take the Metro or walk, as in a cab you will endure endless traffic jams.
Anyway prior to the cooking school a trip to the markt was involved. Basically Thai people seem to eat everything but a proper steak. They do not know what they are missing. But from living fish, eel, frogs and bugs everything that you can possibly imagine was eaten.
Cooking school was fine too. Now I know what went wrong with my Tom Yums : mental note - do not use stock, just water is fine. The other people where proper do gooders, the type you take an instant disliking to and keep it throughout the experience.
Anyway : afterwards we set out to discover posh Bangkok and went to the aquarium in Siam shopping mall. Amazing ! Much better than any of your sealife's in Europe.
Tomorrow : Kings palace and TDKR in the evening. That is Batman for the non nerds. Max needs to be kept happy too.
Here are some photos
