Bangkok Trip Day01: Breakfast at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 17 August 2006.

I was pretty excited the night before. Jumping around, surfing a lot of sites to know more about Bangkok. I know I am going to be there in less than 24 hours.

I recheck my luggage I think at least 8 times. I even have a check list which I re-tick like 2 times. It’s been a while since I wake up this early. I woke up earlier than my usual hours and the best part is I didn’t complain.

I met up with Jimbo in KL Sentral and we both took the KLIA and arrive to the airport just in time to check-in our luggage. In case you wonder… yes, it’s just jimbo, me, I and him in this trip. And no, we are not couples.

After checking in, we still have like an hour or so till the plane leaves for Thailand. Jimbo stop by a convenient shop to buy reloads.

We then stop by Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and have breakfast. Wooohoo… we both ordered the same thing there. We both have the Break ‘O’ Day.

The Break ‘O’ Day, being priced at RM14.70 comes with coffee/tea, 2 sausages, 2 thick lightly toasted bread (with butter and jam), scrambled eggs and dried cranberries salad.

I think overall, everything was pretty much alrite except… yeah… except for their coffee. Being known as COFFEE Bean, their coffee sux to the max. Even a person like me who doesn’t know how to appriciate good coffee thinks it tasted bad.

Now you tell me how bad it is :).

We then walk around the terminal to look for postbox since Jimbo wanted to post something out. Amazingly, we can’t find any. So yeah, it’s not like what you see in TV where you can just post a postcard or something before you leave the country. Not here 🙂

After walking around a while, we decided to go in and just wait for our plane to arrive and I seriously can’t wait to get on board.

Looking at the surrounding, I find this place sorta odd. I felt like I am at this big factory where I am like being smuggled out of the country.

Did I just say I felt like I am being smuggles out of the country? Well it seriously feels so. It felt so different. The experience is just so different. Way different from the ones I have in KLIA.

*still waiting for plane* Sigh… the que is long!
