Bangkok... finally!

---

so i've finally gotten around to updating my blog! life in thailand is fabulous... our flight over was great, if you can handle 30 hours on a plane so find out they left your luggage in san franciso lol. we spent our first couple of nights in bangkok, right off of khoa san road. picture canal street in nyc times about 100. so many people, tuk tuks, food and people... great road full of vendors selling tshirts and souvenirs. spent an afternoon visiting the Grand Palace... apparently long shorts are not good enough. the King's sister recently died, so the whole country is in mourning, and luckily we were able to visit the palace, as ceremonies were being held in her honour.

we stayed in Villa Cha Cha, right off of Khoa San Road. Amazing hostel, $900B(around $30 canadian) a night, air conditioning and a wicked pool... but no bathing yet to use haha.
