Thanksgiving on Halloween in Bangkok

Here we are, back in Bangkok and I got 20 free minute of internet..so why not make a small post. This hostel is fantastic, we were told about it on the plane here today by some other farange (tourists in thai). Its downtown, away from the chaos and harassing tuk tuk drivers...it's real bangkok. Anyway, it's a total european style hostel and the owner, john, makes an all out thankgiving dinner every sunday! Lauren and i shared the giant plate...and of coarse she ate the turkey and i ate the roast beef...it was great.

We opted for the plane to bangkok, which was fanstatic. So quick and easy, we got here in an hour and met lots of people that had really good tips on the plane. We found our place, got some foot massages and are just chillin here since we have to wake up at 4 am to catch our flight to Phnom Phen.

In talking to alex the other day i realized that my posts my have come off like i wasn't having an amazing time at the beach. i can't express how fantastic the beach was...it's just how much is there really to say about laying on the beach drinking pina coladas and eating every time there's a slight urge in your stomach. The food here is just too good not to indulge...the thais do it and they're all so tiny! So, yes, we were absolute beach bums for a month indulging in whatever felt right...yes, I have had 5 massages...and now 1 foot massage. It's all the other stuff that gets in your head, how they live...the customs, the differences in culture and landscape between islands. It was really amazing. We are already going through beach withdrawl. That said, we are really excited for cambodia, it's almost unreal that I'm actually going to see Angkor Wat...like when i went to Rome. Write me if you want, i love hearing from people!
