Day Nine
28th March

The wedding celebration party is on Sunday. We have two days left to prepare. We had lunch with Kung, Jah A--Snow‘s step sister, and Nihm--Jah A’s friend-- at the Pizza Store, which is at the Charoensri Mall. The mall is attached to the hotel, side by side. We can walk a short distance to the entrance. The pizza was good and they gave us a 2 for 1 special. Snow and Alex went off to the grandparents house, while I was left to buy water at Tops Market, on the top floor for Robinsons dept store. Snow and Alex went over in the afternoon to the temple to see the monk.

We had dinner back at the grandparents house.

Day Ten
29th March

Snow’s uncle was going to do flower arrangements for the wedding on Sunday. But his son and his father-in-law were hurt seriously in a car accident earlier in the week, and he has to drive far to get to their hospital. So on Saturday Snow is taking our laundry over to the grandparents house, and will be working on the flower arrangements. After she is there, the uncle is able to return and she doesn’t have to do them.

In the morning Alex stayed with Daddy. It was a real father-daughter bonding day. Snow went down to the spa for a massage. It lasted 70 minutes. Alex says one of two things: either “go-ey” for go, or “walk-ey” for walk. She has pushed Snow and I so much this week and last to get up and go, go walk with her. She loves to walk the hallways of the hotel. She likes to walk through the lobby. She loves to walk the city sidewalks outside the hotel and the mall. Strangers walk up and touch her hair, brush her arm, pinch her forearms, they say jah aiee which means peek-a-boo. At the spa, Alex and I see Som Oh, Snow’s cousin, who works at the spa in the hotel. Som Oh is enchanted with Alex like everyone else has been. Alex walks around the inside of the spa, and plays with the girl who works the towel counter. There’s a table in the lobby of the spa with an arrangement. In the arrangement there is real fruit, real peppers. Alex grabs at them. Som Oh warns her off from holding the peppers. But Alex is happy with two limes.

After Snow’s session with the masseuse, we relax in the room, and Alex took a nap on her bed. Snow plans to go over to the house with the laundry. She leaves Alex with me to watch while she sleeps. But as Snow leaves at 145 PM, Alex wakes up. In her state of just woke up, she wants her mother. So she cries at me, and she wants to go out, perhaps to try and catch up to Snow. I calmed her with leftover pizza from our lunch on Friday. We had five pieces left and I gave her small pieces of pizza to eat for lunch. After lunch, she wanted to walk, So she and I went to the mall. We rode the escalators, we went into Robinsons. The Robinsons sales girls were taken with Alex, we played with the fans, and in the clothing department. She got thirsty, so we bought a lemonade at Auntie Anne’s pretzels. We sat in chairs by the stand with a small table and looked at each other. AClose to 4 pm, we headed back to the hotel. We ran into Snow who was back. She took Alex and went over to run errands, while I used the internet.
