You know how I love it, as I go on and on about it; but ain't it beeeautiful? Small things here are just so lovely (it's the big things that assault one's aesthetic senses (all of them) more on that later, surely).
These lovely moments were enjoyed on Saturday morning in a little shop we have just discovered called Tiida Coffee. The shop is wee, but the machines cranking out the brew are serious.
Chatting with the owner, we learned (well, we came right out and asked) that she paid the equivalent of $500 for her coffee grinder and more than $1500 for her (amazing) Italian espresso machine. To give you some perspective on these ridiculous figures, our monthly rent is $175 (3-bedroom, two-story, two-bath with private garden and significant fish pond with fountain - oh, how I love those).
I'm just hoping that at the baht-equivalent of $1 a cup, this little latte heaven is with us until the machines are paid off. That's a lot of coffee.
(Oh, don't panic. The all-breast-fed rolly polly didn't REALLY drink a guava shake!)
