Okay so I finally found out what I had. Apparently if you are in the woods for too long under heat and mansoon, you get this nasty shit call Prickley heat. I toke some photo's so I can gross some of you out when I come back. Maybe I'll scan one and post it on this blog during one of your lunch times. =) So what is Prickly heat - pretty much this weird rash that you get because you are sweating too much from the humidity and sun. Your pores gets buggered up and this rash forms that looks like prickely bumps. Much or less like the STD rash Griffo gets from the lady boys =) hehe..i can bust his chops now because I know he won't be able to check his email, as I ... read more

DAY 1 So we split up into 2 cabs going to the Bangkok airport.  I rode with Jenny and we ended up in the International aiport and we didn't even know it.  We kept waiting for the other girls but they were in the domestic area.  Unlike Canada or BC for the matter, Domestic is like an entirely different airport on it's own.  So after about 5 tries, we finally got a cab and we got to the Domestic airport, and we literally had about 2 minutes to get ourself onto the plane.  Jessica pre did our flight intinary so we didn't have to waste time.  Talk about cutting it close and not making the flight entirely. The flight was 45 minutes and upon arrival was greeted by our driver.  We stayed at a guesthouse called ... read more

hi Everyone June 12 Saturday 8:30pm Bangkok time Hello from the City of Angel, NOT Los Angeles but Bangkok. Same as LA as in "nasty traffic and crowded" but different from LA as in Asia vs America. No matter how many times that I have been here, Bangkok is always same as in "many many people with bad traffic" but different as in many new buildings, bars, and also believe it or not "SKYTRAIN & SUBWAY". So Mike, does it mean less cars on the road??? the anwser is still NO. Are you kidding "NO CARS MEAN NO FEET". the roads are still AWEFUL. Annie and I went to the weekend market and it was SUPER CROWDED. I went off on shopping just a little bit :) For me, Bangkok is always same same and different ... read more

So the last I lefted off was at Koh San Road this morning.  Had some breakfast and then waited around to pick up the tickets to Chang Mai at this travel agent somewhere in Bangkok.  That is an understatement - "somewhere", because literally we had no idea where it was.  We asked a bunch of cabbies and they had no idea where it was even though we had the address.  We finally attempted to get there anyways, which probably wasn't smart because it toke us 1.5 hours to find this place and our flight was at 1PM. I was still pretty hungover from the night before but what's worst was the damn sweaty dirty smog that just clings to your face.  Pretty much 1 day in Bangkok was all I wanted to stay.  I was getting abit ... read more

Pretty sweet day - slepted only 2 hours but had a killer breakfast at this pretty cool hangout, which I think opens 24hours.  We did some shopping on Kho San and finally gave in to the Tuk Tuk driver.  Talk about giving us a ride - we wanted to goto MGK (i think) mall but we ended up going to 4 other places.  Which was fine I guess because we got to do alot of site seeing and picture taking.  Damn I even ended up buying some jewelry, talk about the will power of a snail, I just can't seem to say no.  So after all that mayhem, which toke about 3 hours we met this guy Pon who works in the mall at this seafood restaurant.  Dim Sum was like $1 A DISH.  I am in ... read more
