at the grand Palace in Bangkok, ThailandWow! Who knew that Hong Kong is so beautiful!!!! (actually, Benji does, he's been here several times before...) But seriously, once you get past the huge CITY, the surrounding hillsides are quite picturesque!
After getting trapped in a monsoon in Bangkok yesterday while checking out the Grand Palace (Long live the king!!!), we're excited to be back in the northern hemisphere and away from the rainy season.
We just arrived here earlier today, and managed to find the smallest hotel room in the entire city. It's a wonder we can even fit our packs in it... but I'm not complaining. The city is so vibrant, and SO different from BAngkok (though the weather is similar... HOT!!!)
As Benji likes to say, this city is like a furturistic Sci-fi movie. If the TV show Futurama is modeled after any place, it's certainly here. The skyscrapers are uber-modern and quite shiny. It's very clean here, and, well, it's defiantely not Bangkok!!!
I'm currently enjoying free internet at a nicely air-conditioned coffee shop, but unfortunately, my time is running out, so I'll have to make this short. Hope all's well with you, and we'll be back in California on
