Ladies room at the airport in Bangkok, Thailand.
As I read this sign in the ladies room at the airport in Bangkok, when we were leaving, it reminded me of some of the mysteries of life. Why, just why, would people be putting their stockings in the toilet? Statistically speaking, how many stockings in a year do they have to fish out of the toilets? Adult stockings? Mens stockings? Womens stockings? Childrens stockings? Hmmm.......When you are delayed eight hours at the airport there is a lot of time to look around and find interesting things! Finally our 2:30 flight left at 11p.m. Our best laid plans all gone up in smoke. We had actually arrived at the airport really early so we could ask for seats on the right side of the plane. With Nepal Airline it's impossible to ask for seats when purchasing tickets or online. Don't ask me why, third country airline is all I know. But we were early enough to each get a window seat so we could see Mt. Everest as we flew by. We've done this before and the view is spectacular. In the U.S. when you fly across country and go over the Sierras and the Rocky Mountains you fly high above and look down on the mountains. Here, when you fly to Nepal you are flying high but still when you look out your window you look UP at Mt. Everest. It is almost 40,000 feet tall. Very majestic. But of course when your flight is at night you don't see a thing. It was disappointing. Anyway, we are here and were going to get up early this morning and walk to Monkey Temple to see the prayers and singing but were so tired we overslept so will try to do that tomorrow.
