Lost in Bangkok

Just a quick update before we head over to Cambodia. As Kyle mentioned, due to the rail workers strike, we ended up taking an overnight bus down to Bangkok. Sadly, none of us slept much due to the blaring music, erratic driving, and many interruptions. No worries though, we made it safely.

When we made it into the train station we decided to head to a guest house near the riverside. Our cabbie clearly had no clue where we were going, so I called the guest house and asked them to give him directions in Thai. Nearly 20 or so minutes later, we were still driving around in circles. The cabbie called the hotel again and spoke with many people along the way, but we were still going in circles. At some point Antony pulled out his guidebook and directed the cabie. It is alway a bad sign when we have to give directions to our cab driver in Bangkok.

Lucky the guest house althoguh out of the way is pretty nice. From there we decided to head to the movie at Siam Square. The imax was sold out so we went for the regular showing. Although the movie was weak, the experience was worth it. We were in one of the nicest mails we have ever seen, and the theatres wre incredible. There was also the most extensive foodcourt we could imagine. Vas and Kyle missing huntsman decided to hit up ABP. I of course couldn't avoid the mangosteen sorbet.

There was also a gourmet grocery store near the foodcourt. I was introduced to m,y new favorite fruit -- golden kiwi from New Zealand. Sorry for all the typos. The computer is very slow and lagging a sentence behind my typing. I'm just going to try post.

See you in Cambodia
