Ya-hey!!
Hello from … Bangkok. How weird. Apparently I made it. The local time is… 1:50AM, and I’m wandering around the streets of Bangkok, drinking a strage Thai beer, with my roommate to be, Josh.
I think the first thing that strikes me is that… it’s 1:50AM and there are a LOT of places open, and people walking down the streets, and little tuk-tuks (death on three wheels, to be sure) darting down alleys. I had heard that Bangkok has great night-life, and already I’m getting strong indications that this is true.
This Internet Cafe is in a little better shape than the last– this actually has a clean, professional look, and the computers even have fully-assembled cases.
The flights over were… long, but shortened by my uncanny ability to sleep anywhere at any time. Go me!
On balance… things are significantly more Americanized (or westernized) than I expected. I recognize all the brand names, and there’s a Seven-Eleven on every corner. Half the TV channels are in English, and we get both CNN and ESPN.
And that’s all for now.
sounds very interesting, i anxiously await more blog posts with cool facts and beautiful pictures.
glad to here that you made it. it sounds like you’ll be able to survive
Glad you made it there safely…how do you think the living situation’s going to be?
