Somchai, possibly the world's most sociable person, made friends with a Turkish family in the park. They live in Sydney but were picnicking in the park, and Somchai became an honorary Turk for a day. Anyway, the park is a beautiful place with great views, and most of Sydney uses it as their back yard. When we moved here, our first apartment was in Potts Point, on the other side of the park, so I used to walk through the park every day on my way to and from work. It's a great way to commute, although I have to say I was always a bit freaked out walking under the trees laden with bats. There are thousands of them, and a big hit with tourists, but I was always worried they'd crap on me.
