Hi All,
We had a great time at "Angkor What?" bar last night, got to chatting with one of the owners who is half Indian and half Portuguese, grew up in Scotland, made a bunch of money doing engineering for the Palm Islands in Dubai, then decided to quit that job and open a backpacker bar in Cambodia. I think he's 32 or so. Hmmm, so I still have time to take that career path :) He gave us t-shirts at the end of the night cause he was so glad to have someone to talk to, it was good fun.
Today we flew to Bangkok, not a whole lot of news except we got settled in our hotel, Khao San Road is the backpacker district and is super crowded with street vendors selling tshirts, sunglasses, bathing suits, dresses, hats, food, massages, anything you could possibly want to buy. Our hotel is nice, a little set back so not too loud, but very basic, advertises all the amenities - free wi fi, except they have no computers.... so am at an internet cafe now.
We just rested and went to dinner, had some red curry that was super tasty but super spicy. I need to remember to ask only for medium spicy so I can taste my food.
Tomorrow we're just touring around Bangkok, going to just hit the major sites as we only have one day. I am so excited to finally be in Thailand, I have wanted to go here ever since we used to get Thai food from one of my dad's massage clients when I was growing up. I have a feeling I will want to be back too, too little time, so much to see!
