Saturday, April 3, 2010 Was a snake!>Oh boy I’m so far behind on this blog! So much has happened this week it’s crazy
Okies so the 2nd plane ride was actually a lot better
I think the plane was older than the 1st but the seats seem more comfier plus food was better an I didn’t get sick at all! :D
We got lost tryin to find our hostel called the Urban Age lol Wasn’t surprised but I can’t believe like none of us even printed out a map or something or the directions of how to get there from the airport! I was kinda thinkin of it but thought that maybe the other ppl already did it but nope they didn’t lol Oh well we had a nice trip goin around Bankok with our heavy bags on our backs
All I can say about Bangkok is it’s super duper really hot and humid!
It’s so funny how every few mins pass by there’d be a taxi guy beeping at us stopping by the curb for us to ride them an I heard that the taxi guys are farmers just tryin to get more money drivin around Bangkok and they have no idea where to go lol or maybe they just don’t understand us cuz really none of them spoke English
Luckily 1 of them came by spoke really well English so we took that 1 an even he couldn’t try to find it lol Leave it to us to pick a spot that’s uncommon to find
Ne ways we eventually found it an stayed there a couple nights
It’s so weird how it was structured too There’s like buildings connected to it an there’s 6 floors an we were supposed to get the dorm room on the 6th floor but I think there was some misunderstanding when we booked it so we ended up taking a few rooms with twin beds but it was ok cuz the 2nd night we took the dorm room an that was fun too cuz I’ve never slept in a bunk before so I took the top bunk right next to the air con hehe so I had control of turning it right on me or turning it away but kinda felt bad for Rebecca that was sleeping across from me cuz she was like an ice cube the whole night ^^;
To use the bathroom is across the hall and to use the bath is downstairs an to go to the next room down or up we’d have to take the stairs So each floor has a room an bathroom lol
For breakfast we’d eat the street food
Not surprised it was spicy grr But luckily I was able stand it but the 2nd time I had it for some reason it felt more spicier lol so I couldn’t really stand much of it
Ever since then I’v avoided eating spicy foods lol
The beverage drinks here are all sweet! An I learned later in my thai language class that they love sweet things which is absolutely perfect for me cuz I have a huuuuge sweet tooth :D Other ppl didn’t feel the same way lol
The Red Bull here tastes really diff from the states! Like it’s not carbonated at all an they’re in this lil glass bottle instead of a tall skinny can
I’v only had a couple sips cuz I’m not a huge energy drinker
The only time I had a full energy drink was when I won that Monster drink as a consolation prize from that Kawasaki contest lol
Holy crap did we walk a ton that day lol We’ve been tryin all the diff transportation they had like the bus, subway, sky train which I lurved btw! Reminds me of Disney land lol, this thing called a tuk tuk an it’s funny cuz back in the Philippines they’re called put put
They’re like these 3 wheeler vehicles without doors an it’s pretty much open all around They’r awesome n-n
We explored the Siam Paragon mall
Oh my lord it was ginormous!!! I felt like that mall was a whole city by itself lol It’s THAT big guys Could prolly spend a month exploring all of what’s in that mall
I think there was 5 or 6 levels The 3rd level was full of fancy modern cars!! How the flip did they get all them cars there? Bankok is definitely hip with top of the line fashion Well I suppose asia does make all of our things lol 1st floor had a ginormous food court an grocery it’s weird cuz not all food places did this but we’d go to this separate desk an say wat we wanted to order an we’d give them Baht an they’d give me a ticket thing I think it’s just so they can manage money separately there
Ne ways enough of the mall We also went to a snake farm
It was awesome up to the point when 1 of the trainers got bit by the snake he was holding D: But it looked like he was all ‘Shoot! Well this is gonna suck for the rest of the day’ rather than being all panicky
I wonder if 1 of these guys gets bit every day
Towards the end was able to hold 1 of the snakes! I looked cute in that pic n-n I made it look like I was holding those feathered boas :D
Weather is sooo unbearably hot an humid!
I have like a layer of sweat every time I step outside but at least the thai people love their air conditioning
Even the tiny booth that gives out tickets to see the snake show was air conned
Been drinking a ton of water cuz with all these walking I was afraid of getting dehydrated an it’s real easy to do
Went to this fancy restaurant at the very top floor of this almost tallest skyscraper building in bankok but before we had to buy nicer clothes than wat we currently had on
Lol Patrick’s pants were soo skinny an tight on him He was all ‘Ah crap’ an to made it even better when we were on the train we saw Patrick’s pants on a girl an we were all ‘Hey it’s Patrick’s pants!’ lmao Idk how the ppl could mess up something like that
Hey you’re a guy let’s put you on some girl clothes instead! I think it’s cuz he’s really skinny so they thought women’s clothing would fit better or something lol
Ne ways even though it’s a restaurant we only wanted drinks lol I forgot why we didn’t wanna go to the bars
I think it’s cuz they weren’t open that early We went during lunch hr or sometime in the afternoon lol
Later we tried to go to the tallest building but for some reason we couldn’t reach the top
The elevators would just stop somewhere like at the 5th level and we didn’t know how else to reach the upper levels It was strangely odd
Dood there’s a ton of ATM machines! Like 1 every feet away there’d be either 1 or clusters of them lol Hm! I wonder wat this could mean!
Omg there was also lots of beggers on the streets The 1 that got to me was when we were about to leave for the train station there was this guy with its leg an arms chopped off an he was just sprawled straight in the middle of the side walk where there was heavy traffic [ppl not cars] goin by 1 of the girls later said he was overly faking it Like his arm an a few fingers were hidden
Still seeing something like that wasn’t a pretty sight
We also went to a park an chilled there, played some cards
Games we played was BS which I hated cuz I’m bad at lying an mostly crazy eights which was exactly like Uno which reminded me of playin that game with my friends aw
Could have had a chance to go for a boat ride around the lake but there wasn’t enough boats to hold all of us
Here’s how the cost system went $1 = 32 Baht or something like that so street food would cost less than a dollar, restaurant foods costs a few dollars, booze would costs like 10-20 bux for either packs or the whole bottle in bars an stuff which I guess is pretty dang cheap
How would I know wat booze would cost in the states? Lol Surprisingly enough I had most of my liquor in Thailand xD
The only things I had so far is that Dakary at that fancy skyscraper an a few whisky shots the 1st night when I got to Chiang Mai then the same thing night after when everyone in my program met
Ne ways that’s all we did in Bankok! An that was only for a couple days lol We did so many things all at once
Gr the 1st day when we did all that walking I had a huuuuuge blister like there was air between the skin so I surgically removed it to the air out Bad idea I was in pain an was limping the rest of the time an it didn’t start healing till I settled down in Chiang Mai
I was surprised by how stinky my feet got! Lol The rest of the time I wore sandals which is equally as bad cuz later 1 of my feet started to swell again
I’m so mad at my feet! Idk why they’re so weak all the time grrr
That was the only downer thing other than the heat that was makin me all sticky an sweaty all the time that was keeping me from enjoying my stay there
