Thailand is sweet. I really like it here. I think I must have been Asian in another lifetime. It’s about 730am and we’ve been up since around five this morning. I blame it on Jenny’s jet lag- she’s been up since three.
So far we’ve had an awesome time just walking around interacting with the friendly Thai people. I’m really glad that I spent a good amount of time learning how to speak a little Thai because it is coming in handy. We haven’t seen any of the touristy sites in Bangkok yet, and I’m not sure if we actually will. We have A LOT of time in Thailand and I think we will be back in Bangkok eventually. Right now we’re just trying to get acquainted with the Thai lifestyle.
I really like street vendor food! Every time we walk by a stand I stop and see what they’re offering. I seem to always get something interesting and unexpected in my food. For instance, I think I ate chicken feet and chopped liver in a soup this morning.
At the moment we have no concrete plans for the day. We need to stop by the tailor to pick up our clothes and then figure out the bus/train schedule to Phuket. We are meeting some of Jenny’s friends she met in New Zealand (Sophie and Nicolina) who I’ve heard a lot of good things about. After Phuket we’re off to Nakhom Sri Thammarat to start our teaching careers!
