Hello from an internet cafe in Bangkok! I just landed late last night, so I haven't had much time to do stuff here. Haisun met me at the airport and we just hung out on Khao San Road (the touristy strip) and got some food and caught up a little. Today we got up, ate, went to her old apartment, ate some more, did some window shopping, ate... and now we're sipping tea and using the internet before we go eat dinner. You can see where this all is heading. Basically my plan is to eat enough so that buying a new wardrobe is actually necessary. This is important, because there are a ton of cute clothes in Bangkok that I can't really justify buying... Really, I don't want to carry a ton of stuff around for the rest of my trip, but we'll see how my resolve stands up at the markets tonight and in the future.
It's nice being in Bangkok, and of course nice that it's a familiar in facade and food. The few Thai phrases I learned when I was last here are slowly coming back to me, and although I can remember all the numbers from one to ten I can't remember them in the right order. Oops. Jet lag hasn't reared its ugly head yet, but... as I typed that, I yawned.
Haisun and I are going to sit down tonight and make up a travel plan, although we've already talked about it a bit. So far we're thinking a few days here in Thailand (maybe Ayutthaya and Koh Chang), over to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh, maybe down south to Sihanoukville for some diving, and then to Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Hoi An/Hue, Halong Bay, and ultimately Hanoi. Fun!
