Bangkok

Hello from Bangkok. We have safely arrived in Bangkok (not without some tears). First day was a whirlwind involving last minute ticket purchases just so we could leave Calgary (poor planning on my part-joe). Over 20 hours of travel time left us both pretty wiped. However, the guesthouse in Bangkok is amazing and indiscribable ( www.suk11.com ); we will try to attach pictures in the future. First night involved dead dogs wrapped in newspaper on the street, middle aged North American men with all kinds of prostitutes and street meat galore. We recieved numerous offers to attend "ping pong" shows which prompeted Nicole to ask "why would we want to go watch people play ping pong?" Ha. Look it up if you are also in the dark. Going to the Palace of the Emerald Buddha today (a trip requiring train, bus and boat), future plans unknown.

Bye for now.

Joe and Nicole
