Patsy in Chiang Mai Chiang Mai, Thailand We took an overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. An overnight train is where you sit on a seat until bedtime, and then someone comes and makes the seat into a bed and puts down a top bunk so you can sleep on the train. The beds were comfortable enough. We didn’t sleep great, because it was kind of jerky, but it was better than without beds. At 6 in the morning or so, the train stopped for an hour and sat still. Then it went back and forth on land we had [View Full Entry]

Bangkok, Thailand We went from Ubud, Bali, Indonesia to Singapore. We flew on an airplane that was very fancy, and we had a very smooth flight. And purple cows like airplanes, so it was very fun. We spent two days in Singapore. Then we took another plane flight to Bangkok, Thailand. It was not quite so smooth and fun. It was kind of rainy when we landed, and when we went through the clouds it was very bumpy. So when we landed I felt a little bit sick. Purple cows do not like feeling sick. Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. [View Full Entry]

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia It’s been a long time since Tioman, the last time I wrote. I got Purple Cow Sickness, and could not write a blog. Ella also got sick, although she didn’t get Purple Cow Sickness. After Tioman we went to a place called Kuala Lumpur, which is a big, chaotic, trafficky city in Malaysia. It was very hard to get around, but we found a very nice mall that had a good food court and a nice place to walk around. After Kuala Lumpur, we went to the oldest rainforest in the world, and it was pretty much a [View Full Entry]

We went from Melacca to a town called Mersing, and spent a night there. Then we took a ferry to an island called Tioman. It was a really, really, really pretty beach, with super clear water. You could walk out and snorkel. It was really fun. What I liked best. There was a morning where we went out and snorkeled. It was incredibly clear. We saw coral reefs and a bunch of different fish. Some coral reefs look like brains, or what you would imagine brains look like - cows have never seen brains before. Some coral were really colorful - [View Full Entry]

We went from Singapore to Melacca, in Malaysia. On the way to Melacca, and in Melacca, I, the Purple Cow, got culture shocked. Culture Shock #1: The Squatty Potty. I got my first little taste of culture shock when the bus stopped for a bathroom break. The place we stopped was sort of like a food court. It was a bunch of little stalls serving Asian food and a big open room full of tables. I went to the bathroom, or at least tried to. But potty wasn’t a regular potty, it was a squatty potty. You couldn’t sit on it. [View Full Entry]

Hi, my name is Patsy the Purple Cow. You can call me Patsy for short. I am purple. I am a cow. I am on a trip to Southeast Asia for eight months. I am going to write a blog about what I do on the trip. My friend Ella is carrying me around. It was a very long plane ride. We were on one plane for fifteen hours. The whole time I was flying toward the sun and so it was light the whole time we were on the plane. I flew into a place called Singapore which is definitely [View Full Entry]
