Bangkok! Well, I learned a lesson from my previous two flights this year, and did not get inebriated the night before leaving. Paul had left to go back to Wyoming on monday at 6am, and between working the night before, getting up early to drop him at the airport, and then get my last day in the states started, I was working on about 6 hours of sleep. I ran around like a crazy person on Monday attempting to get all the last minute stuff I had been saving for the last minute to get done done, then topped off the [View Full Entry]

I LOVE BANGKOK! it is so cool here! never a dull moment and always something to see or do! we arrived in good time and adam had a few tricks up his sleeve for gettting through immigration quicker. everyone went to the closest one but if you keep walking to the next gate about a 5min walk it was practically clear. and the airport was massive! absolutely humoungous! we thought we had lost our bags as they had changed the belt number from the one they told us on the plane but we soon realised and found a bus that went [View Full Entry]

Ho Chi Minhl (Saigon), Vietnam, a 10 de abril del 2009. Saludos a todos. Despues de haber quedado empapado bajo la lluvia vietnamita el dia de hoy, que segun yo iba a poner el nombre de México muy en alto con mi playera blanca con la leyenda "Mexico rocks" (pero creo que despues de la lluvia la leyenda debió decir "Mexico gets wet"), procedo a remitirles mas fotos del viaje, sólo que ahora son de mi visita anterior a Tailandia. Ningun viaje a Tailandia esta completo sin haber presenciado una funcion de Muay Thai. Como seguramente ya algunos saben y otros [View Full Entry]

Bangkok, Tailandia, a 27 de marzo del 2009. Muchos saludos a todos y todas: Bueno, después de un prolongadisimo silencio y con piquetes de vacunas contra la Encefalitis Japonesa B y la fiebre amarilla (ni modo, si quiero andar por la selva a lomo de hulefante no me queda de otra), siendo aqui las 2000 horas del viernes (que en Loreto serian las 0500 y en Tijuana las 0400, con diferencias de horario de 15 y 16 horas respectivamente), procedo a escribirles y mandarles saludos desde esta chulada y fregonería de país. No puedo decir más porque las palabras son insuficientes [View Full Entry]

Holiday greetings everyone! We're sending our wishes for a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Especially at this time of year we miss sharing time with friends and family back in the States. We feel comfortable with our new city and enjoy living here and learning the subtleties of Thai culture. The people are so kind and considerate. We're settled in a one bedroom furnished condo. It's centrally located and a short walk to the skytrain or the subway. We're really enjoying the food. From restaurants, to food courts to the noodle guy on the street, it's all really [View Full Entry]

Bangkok After a quick and painless flight from Hong Kong, we arrived in sticky Bangkok and got the airport bus to The Khao San road, where all the backpackers hang out in an area called Banghlapu. We decided to stay slightly way from buzzing Khao San (we’re not 18 anymore!) in a more chilled out street a couple of minutes away and found a nice guesthouse to call home for a few days (Bella Bella). We dined on amazing street food that night- curry, sticky rice and pat thai for less than a pound and found a cool bar to try [View Full Entry]

A myriad of aromas dance around me as we walk down the road. Little sticks of mystery meats sizzle on tiny BBQs beside vanilla waffles filled with hotdogs. A waft of raw sewage makes me quicken my step past the begger with one leg. The air is hot and the taste of Bangkok is intense. The underground and sky train are easy to travel and have us feeling pretty damned proud of our navigational skills. We head to Hua Lumphong station early in the morning to book sleeper train tickets to Chiang Mai the following night. Upon leaving the station the [View Full Entry]

Hello again Getting to Bangkok After sleeping a good night in Pattaya bungalows, we headed back to the North. Distance from Pattaya to Bangkok is only about 100km via highway, but because Thai regulations don't allow motorbikes to use highways, we had to take countryroads and drive 50km extra. Back in Bangkok Arrival to bangkok was again an experience, see more on video. Traffic was jammed and we spent ca. 1,5 hours extra in the city. This time we decided to stay in different area of the city (Sukhumvit). Previously we stayed in Chanasongkram (Banglumpoo) in the small hotel Amari [View Full Entry]
