The Weekend

Greetings from a ridiculously hot Bangkok. A couple pics from the weekend.

Temple in Bangkok - Went to a ceremony on Saturday Morning with Aom. Ceremony was pretty cool, but I did not wear socks so taking off my shoes on the scorching hot marble did not feel good on the feet.



Money Expo - Nothing smells like commerce more than the Money Expo 2009!! This was pretty lame, congested with Banks offering credit cards / home & auto loans and Insurance. I did manage to find one interesting investment offering. Essentially it is a CD (Certificate of Deposit) but each monthly they do a lucky draw and if your number matches you win a monetary sum. I find this remarkable and very cool, because it is a risk free lotto ticket. The ticket that you buy pays you annual interest, gives you a chance to win big money in a monthly drawing and then returns your money at the end of the required investment term, which is 2 - 3 years.
