Vist your sister at work day

House hunting brought me over to Soi 49 which made it possible for me to visit my sister at her work. Alas, when I arrived, she just left. It was fine with me because it gave some time to take pictures around the area- the area of the house,both inside and outside.

The bakery shop is known for it egg tarts, and this particular branch, it fried dough. One can get these fried dough, mostly in the morning and usually from a vendor in the marketplace. Most of the time, the vendor probably re-used the oil that dough iwas fried in, so it is not so healthy. However, it very tasty.

Since tis a high-class joint, they made an executive decision to fried dough late morning into the afternoon. Still suits the crowd well because they are women of leisure and lunches. And living up to the 'hi-so' superlatives, they do not re-use the oil. 'Fried with fresh vegetable oil daily' is probably their by-line. 5555

Well, I wasn't there for the fried dough. I was there because I want the low-down on the sale of the house from my sister. But, alas, she wasn't there.

Since I have lots of time in my hands, I whip out my camera and took photos of the shop and the area round it. Here are just some pictures from today.

So I explore outside and upstairs. The area upstairs is not used and its like their storage area. I love to explore places where I haven't been in a while. The last time I was there, must be two Novembers ago. Gee, I really don;t get out much do I?

So discovered some old toys and balloons. Looks like discards of an children's party. The balloon reminds me of 'Alice in Wonderland'. My favorite quote:
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.”

Well, the lantern upoin the red background reminds of 'danger' entering the red light district. In olden days, a red lantern hung outside a house means its a house of ill-reputes.

Then the view of the chandelier from above. Looks lie a dandelilion in space. The view from downstairs, upwards, makes the dandelion look like a chandelier. Go figure.
