Hi Brian, It sounds like you and your dad are having a great time. By the way say hi for me. I just wanted to let you know someone is reading your blogs besides your mother and enjoying them. It's nice how I can travel all over with you and never leave my house. I'll look forward to your next posting. Aunt Eileen

We had some thunderstorms through Illinois but nothing serious. Outside of the scattered rain the first day or two the weather here has been perfect.

Roadtrip
Hey Brian, hope you enjoy your trip. I also found PA very boring to drive through. Have you seen any thunderstorms, they were pretty wild out there especially in Illinois. Hope you are having fun.

I don't think anything about Thailand met my original expectations . But when you are traveling to a different part of the world for the first time, how can you know what to expect? You will always have expectations or ideas of what the area will be like, but unless you've been somewhere before you can never truly know what the place is going to be like. Perhaps instead of saying that Thailand was different than I expected, I should have said it was different from anything I had ever experienced before. I think it's nearly impossible to travel somewhere new and not have expectations of what it's going to be like. But it isn't a bad thing that Thailand was different from what I may have expected. It was just different and unfortunately there's no way for me to convey what I had originally thought it might be like because since I had never been there before, my expectations were not based upon anything other than imaginations in my head.

You found Thailand so different from your original expectations. What were your original expectations, then?

i'm sorry to hear about the homesickness. but the school sounds good! and it's nice to have a solid schedule for what you are going to be working on. i think it's also nice to have different experiences to be able to compare the two and learn more about yourself

i really liked it when i went to the grand palace! some of the buildings were so intricate in their design and decor, it was definitely an awesome experience. we also liked the melding of two styles there, as parts were traditional and others were more modern. pretty nice. glad to see things are going well and you are getting comfortable in the city. i know i've said it a bunch of times already, but i really really enjoy reading your blog! it's great, as are the pictures =)

you're new apartment seems excellent! although the single/double bed situation (which mostly looks like one giant bed) is a little interesting. will you guys be on the same schedule getting up in the morning? if not...i think it will be tough sleeping in and whatnot...

hey brian, i don't remember the specifics but while i was there someone from our hotel explained the taxi's to us. some of them can only got within certain areas, and it has to do with the colors. there are zones or some kind of set up and they stay within the zone, and then there are some that go all over. like i said, i don't remember the specifics about it, just that the concierge explained it to us one night when we were having trouble getting a cab.
