Bangkok

Bangkok is unlike any city I've ever experienced. The hustle and bustle of the over 9 million people (according to the Internet) that live in the surrounding Bangkok area causes me to realize how small I am when compared to what I'm used to. The markets are huge and cheap and the driving is..lets just say many times I've thought I was going to die or run over one of the hundreds of scooters that seem to have no concern for the vehicles that are 10 times as big as they are and could smash them in an instant.
Our first 'day' we decided to do the tourist thing. Went to a historical park and road bikes for a couple hours, went market shopping and road a boat down the river. So far I absolutely love Thailand and I haven't even been out of Bangkok yet!
Last night was awesome, our first meeting in Thailand! We went to the Bangkok Kingdom Hall that was on the 14th floor of a tall building somewhere downtown. There we met people from all parts of the world. Korea, Philippines, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Hungary, Canada and Ukraine (Probably missing some) It was amazing to see the unity of all those people. I definitely gained a new appreciation for our worldwide brotherhood :)
Today we went out along the street to eat at food carts. Ate some delicious food but I have no clue what it was.. (Picture to follow) Also Leah and I have decided we just ate the best grilled corn we've ever tasted. The cart was run by the cutest Thai woman standing there with her portable 'grill' that appeared to be made out of a barrel. It was fantastic.
Smoking is very common here unfortunately which is surprising considering what their cigarette cases look like. (picture to follow)
Today we fly to Krabi to visit friends and beaches so we are stoked! Word of advice: if you ever book a ticket trough airasia don't do it when you're half asleep and haven't researched the fact that there are other airports in a city this big. Yes, that is in fact what I did. So instead if getting a free shuttle ride to the airport we're staying right next to, we'll be driving an hour to make our flight (Dawn dumb) In moments like this you truly appreciate an awesome travel partner who could care less when you make bad decisions while sleep deprived ;) (thanks Leah!) One mistake down, a lot more to go. Gotta roll with it :)
My last picture will maybe seem insignificant to most but to those who really know me you'll understand. Thailand has good coffee!!! All other concerns need not occupy my mind. I am one happy girl :D
