I'm ready to start my day! I took a couple pics of my little hotel room. I'm going to meet a friend soon, I'll post more pictures and words when I get back in tonight.
Edit:
Today, my friend Tubtim, some of you know as Ruby, gave me a tour of Bangkok. First of all, Bangkok is huge and has a lot of stuff to do, so we didn't come close to conquering the city, but we did see a lot of cool sights: a museum of Bangkok's history (which Tubtim designed several parts), the Royal Palace and temple in it, Khao San road, Asiatique (a new shopping area), and Wat Arun. [There may be some spelling errors, but I'll correct them and/or delete this note later.] We ate lots of good food, too. I decided to post pics in an album on my Facebook page (Click Here for FB page) because it will keep photos consolidated. Actually, I was a dork and left my cameras in the car all day, so I only took pics on my phone.
I really liked the museum because besides showing off my friend's amazing talent, it educated me on Thai culture and pride. I feel like I can understand the people on a new level or from a new aspect. I highly recommend it. I'll get the name of the museum in English and Thai and possibly a link to their website and insert it later. In addition to learning from the museum, it was really helpful having a friend explain to me the culture- the do's, don'ts, and why's. I definitely have a lot more to learn, but I look forward to it.
A couple crazy things I saw today: an Italian couple arguing/fighting. I have no clue what was happening, but the lady was super-angry and the guy was extremely apologetic, especially after the I-don't-care attitude didn't work on her. There was an old, white guy wearing extremely short shorts. Gross. I also so another guy with a GoPro. It made me kick myself for leaving mine in the car. He had the head strap attached to the camera but not using it. At Asiatique I saw a couple Harley baggers, one with ape hangers. Made me want one so bad... haha!
