Aleksis and Lauriel were having a lot fun in Thailand. Lauriel deliberately often put Aleksis on his shoulders because he wanted the little girl to see the view from a high place.
They took city trains and buses and mingled with residents and tourists, just how Lauriel liked it. He wanted Aleksis to experience adventures and be on the road since young.
As usual, Lauriel wore glasses so that his unique eye colors didn't attract too much attention. He also bought a smaller pair of glasses for Aleksis. The glasses made them look like nerdy tourists.
Thailand was a paradise for exotic food and that was what made Lauriel want to bring Aleksis there. In the culinary center of Bangkok, they walked around and tasted dishes made from grasshoppers, scorpions, crocodiles, and many other animals that were not normally consumed by humans in other parts of the world.
