We're in Bangkok. Wahoo! What a trip...I think I watched 5 movies and two tv shows. I liked Charlie Wilson's War but everyone else was pretty lame. I crashed for the first time on a plane without drugs for the first time in years. I usually take tylenol pm to help me sleep but I was out today!

So the hotel we're at is super cute. Totally thai modern style with lots of dark wood. It's a huge space for $30 a night. What a deal. It's also in a really quiet residential neighborhood really close to the BTS so we're really excited to be so mobile in Bangkok. We never really took the opp to stay in hotels in Bangkok so this is giving us a nice chance to hang here.

Everything Thai has come back to us..the language, the tastes, the people. It feels really comfortable here.

Hmm..what else. We had an awesome dinner at Blue Elephant. We did a cooking class there a few times. We didn't even look at the menu, we just wanted out mieng kahm (green leaves stuffed with limes, ginger, dried shrimp, onion, chili, dried coconut, peanuts and sauce), tom yam, and green curry. I forgot how flavorful all the food is here!

Ok...we're trying to look for hotels to stay at in Malaysia...I think we may also get up to Chiang Mai. YAY! We have lots of work to do tomorrow, scheduling meetings and sorting some things out but I'm really excited to hang here for a while.

Peace!
