Hey All,
Jen's prediction of the amount of time we'd spend on the computer is turning out to be closer to the truth than mine. Oh well! Too busy having a good time!
Any way, we've been scurrying around Bangkok these past few days, and have covered a
fair bit of ground. We saw the tourist ant hill of Th. Khao San, wandered around the uber-fashionable downtown Siam Center shopping district, smoked a hukkah in little Arabia -- where, at our first bar, we were turned away because it was men only; "NO LADY!" -- tons of women in full hijabs and MUZZLES! (I wish I had pictures), saw a bit of the riverwalk, and toured the grand palace and jade buddha chapel -- the king's personal prayer area.Strange that the same city houses a well-populated sex industry and the bustling, and seemingly conservative, little Arabia.... or maybe not.
Any way, we're off to a small Thai village west or east of here -- I forget -- where there's a floating village to check out. Hope my camera battery lasts!
Love!

Okay - so I'm the slow kid on being hip to your blog. I am catching up on your adventures and quite jealous thus far. Hope the next few posts aren't filled with tragedy so I lose all hope in adventure. - Rebekah
