WE NOW HAVE OUR LUGGAGE!!! Yay!! So the trip has been amazing so far, but I seriously just don't know if I can physically live off this food :( Yesterday we went to on a boat ride down the river and it was so interesting to see the different people that live on the river and just see the big city of Bangkok. We stopped by a snake farm...which was really disturbing cause the guys were making them mad and picking them up with their mouths and just weird stuff. Christin and I are totally 110% tourist still right now, we definitely got little Thai hats (which also conveniently turn into fans) to wear on the boat and everyone was just laughing at us. I mean we figure we might as well live it up while its still exciting to be a "falahng" as they call us (meaning foreigner). Then we shopped awhile and got an hour long thai foot massage. Christin's girl did hers so hard she had bruises up her thigh haha, but mine was just enough to put me to sleep for five minutes :) I love the massages here and Joann wants to get one EVERYDAY!! One thing that kind of bothers/grosses me out is all the white men over here with little young asian women. I'm sure some of them "are in love" but I can't help to think its like a mail-order-bride thing...or sex slave kind of stuff. So gross. Another thing I have noticed is that the girls here are freaking gorgeous...but not so much in their old age lol. Never in a million years (or 23) have i ever found an asian man attractive, but I have most def seen alot of asian guys i find attractive here. No worries, I love the white man more though. Everyone here is so friendly and fun, unlike Egypt where I got glared at badly all day and whistled at by the men. For this to be such a huge sex trade industry I don't feel threatened by the men at all....and neither does Christin obviously. We went on a dinner cruise last night and she started the night out sick, and ended it by dancing with some creeeeeeper who then wouldn't leave us alone lol. As I said last night, it doesn't matter your ethnicity or location, all creepers have the same heir haha. We're about to head to lunch with one of the head ladies from Bangkok Christian College where we will be teaching, and hopefully the food is decent. Our hotel provides some "wester style" breakfast along with rice and stuff, so Christin and I eat the junk out of breakfast cause we never know how the rest of our meals are going to go :( We haven't quiet figured out the voltage thing yet, we have a converter and adapter and still...it fried our straightener. Guess we'll be the fat, tall, americans with ugly curly hair till we buy a thai straightener. I'm nervous to plug my computer up so I may not be on for a few days. But I can assure one thing...I will probably attend 10 more jewelry stores in the next day. People here get commission off taking you there, so randomely your taxi will take you there when its CLEARLY not where you asked to go. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining its just the little funny things we're getting used to. It really is amazing here, I love the fashion, people, and big city :
Hi. Trying to figure it out. By the way, put that snake down. Dad
