The Emporium
Sukhumvit Road
Bangkok, Thailand
June 30, 2009
Dear Speed Lovers,
I am taking a break from writing my travel letters to visit The Emporium – a high-end shopping mall: Chanel, Hermes, Ungarao, etc, etc, etc.
The Emporium is sponsoring an exhibition of high-end automobiles, built for speed, and I daresay, comfort.
Next to each outrageous auto, an equally outrageous wrist watch is on display: Breitling and Bentley, and Blancpain and Porsche, etc.
The price for each timepiece is about what I would expect to pay for a decent car! The prices for the ultimate motor cars are not listed. What a surprise!
I have my eye on an electric blue Jag. And I about drooled over the open top Spyker.
But I am thinking, "Who needs to cruise in the big city?" On the highways and the byways of the Bayou, Boca, or Brentwood maybe. But not in Bangkok.
Hope you're having a "speedy" and "on-time" day.
Jan…. Still winding. Still walkin'

Dear "still winding and still winding,"
This was a delicious description. I didn't recognize the last two cars! I only know about cars from my seven year old grandsons, Sam and Jack. Sam gets it from my son in law, David.
I have to admit that my knowledge before this was more like "white car, blue car, red . . . . Impressing me with cars and watches was totally out of my frame or interest. Yes, my son-in-law also loves watches. How is my daughter, Jillian, ever going to get him a present he likes?

It's You!
Jan,
You’re being silly. Why give any thought to price?
I can see you now tooling the highways of northern Thailand . Picture yourself in a red sports car with a beautiful Thai woman sitting in the passenger seat.
Do you need any more incentive?
It’s you!
Jack
