BANGKOK!
I've arrived in Bangkok! It's so nice and warm here. I traveled the whole way in flip flops getting weird looks from people in Detroit, but it's worth it now haha. My flights were pretty standard. Detroit to Tokyo was 13 hours- epic journey. I can never get comfortable enough in airplanes to sleep well. I dosed off a bit on each flight but never felt well rested. I've never minded airplane food, I always thought it was edible but not amazing. Delta airplane food though, it's bad. I ordered a special vegetarian meal before I left, which I did get but it was so weird. My dinner was some unidentified mush.. it was brown and salty, and it came with something green, maybe spinach. Instead of a brownie for desert like everyone else, I got honeydew melon... and no butter for my bun. And then breakfast I got couscous and mandarin oranges- the weirdest combination. It was so bland but I was hungry so I ate it. Lunch was a little more typical, rice and some stirfry veggies. I got some delish Udon noodles with tofu in Tokyo to make up for it though.
I got through customs and got my bag without any trouble and I found the bag carousel where my friend's flight was and met him without any trouble too! It was cool to see someone I know halfway across the world. Our other friend gets here tonight. AND one of our other friends from fire, Caitlin, sent me a message last night- she's coming to Thailand at the end of the month!!! Amazing, she's going to come to the Full Moon Party with us in Koh Phangnan, and maybe continue on with us after.
I'm just waiting for Matt to get up and then we'll go get some breakfast, and explore Bangkok. Maybe the Royal Palace, Kohsoan road, and the skytower? We met people last night who had just been to the Skytower, it's in the Hangover 2 movie and apparently the views are amazing. They suggested we go at night, so we'll see how we're feeling tonight.
The hostel we're at right now is called WE Bangkok, it's great. Clean, friendly, free wifi, lots of people. We're here again tonight, and then from there not sure.
So excited to be in Thailand! :D
