Trip to Thailand ~2nd day 1.

I got up arond 8:00 and Kie came to my grandma's house around 9:00, I think. We had breakfast there. Kie and I had made a promise we saw in Thailand. We picked Haruna up with us.

We caught a taxi and went to Temple of the Emerald Buddha at first. It had a very strict dress code. Unable to enter the temple with revealing clothes. I was wearing a short culotte, so I put on denim leggings which I brought before we enter it. However, tight one is not allowed either. In addition, not torn jeans, flashy jeans, flip-flops and so on. Because my denim leggings was tight, I worried about that but finally I could go inside without any warnings.

Kie explained about various things like "this is blah blah blah, that is blah blah blah," and I thought she was a very good guide. She told us a story painted on the walls. It was interesting.

After we went out the temple, we walked around a hawker center (yatai). It was very hot, so we bought only water bottles and moved to the next place by a taxi.


Which we left for was Chulalongkorn University-Kie's school! The uni was really really big!!! There were three big parts and we went to only one of them, departments of literature and engineering, maybe. I met Kie's friends. Some of them could speak Japanese and was interested in Japan. I was glad to meet them.
Hoi (maybe...I don't know her spell) was one of Kie's friends. To my joy, she came with us. Kie and Hoi showed over their school for Haruna and I.
To my surprise, bus service was on the campus! Exactly. Bus service is important for students because the uni is so big! We took a bus and made a round of the uni (but not all).
