TODAY'S TRAVEL PHOTO OF YESTERYEAR:
Never have I been to a place with such a variety of detailed embellishments. I could not stop noting down the ideas that the designs in Bangkok's Grand Palace inspired. I felt like a little girl playing 'dress-up-princess', after way too much candy. "I wouldn't mind a swimming costume like that. Or like thát. And maybe a cake decorated just like this. A greeting card with that border. Wallpaper! A scarf with such flowers and golden wings just for fun. Little bell earrings. A golden, sparkly dress like that." Even the 'et cetera, et cetera's were lining up in my mind, like the patterned tiles I was facing. It was a good thing I was wandering alone, because the Grand Palace seemed to overwhelm me a little, and that, after a rush through the busy and cluttered city of Bangkok. It took some time to take everything in. Needless to say, I slept very well that night.
And in the nights that followed, I had to deal with sweet dreams of painted iced cupcakes and little princess tea parties. The Grand Palace, like I have said before, a little overwhelming. But ever so inspiring.
