Bangkok
April 4, 2009Heya folks!
I just wanted to let you know that (after a 2 hour delay of the plane) I safely arrived in Bangkok yesterday. I was greeted by some very damp 36 degrees celsius, and – together with two Israelian guys I met on the plane – took a taxi to the main tourist area Th Khao San. We quickly found a reasonable room and ended up in a metal bar right away, haha… Bangkok is pretty cool, a lot different than the big cities in India or Nepal: more clean, more quiet and a lot more western. There are lots of food stands lining the streets, most of them smelling pretty good, and you can buy almost anything in the small shops and stands (even fake driver’s licences…). The people here are pretty nice, and you meet loads of traveller’s from everywhere… After one day I can already say that I really like it here, and I can’t wait to meet Lia later this evening when she“ll come flying in from New Zealand! I’m sure we’ll have an awesome month together here!!!
That’s it so far, the first pics are online, so check them out… Take care folks!
