We went to Bangkok for the World Youth Bridge Championships and stayed for a few days to do some sightseeing. Except for the unpleasant return trip, we had a great time!

8 The McDonalds at the Narita airport in Tokyo. They certainly have some different menu items! I tried a shrimp burger and it was interesting, but good.
9 It was quite common to see aquariums everywhere, even in little shops. This one was in a streetside souvenir shop near the hotel.
10 Dan gets measured and fitted for his custom made suit at the tailor shop. The prices were excellent and the quality was very good.
11 McDonalds in Bangkok, at the Indra Palace shopping centre. They also had some different items, like fish nuggets instead of chicken nuggets. The fish items were actually delicious, given that it was McDonalds food... much better than in North America.
12 The Thai McDonalds menu.

18 An outdoor snake enclosure at the snake farm. In Thailand, snakes are bred and raised for study and to make antivenin.

20 A snake handler with one of the venomous snakes. These snakes are still deadly but must retain their venom in order to produce antivenin. However, most snakes cannot see objects that are not moving and will not strike at a handler because they can't sense him.
