The toughened travellers of day 2 ran far from the touristy areas of the city this morning. We're in Bangkok's Chinatown right now, having just walked through a crowded and delicious maze of alleyways lined with vendors and not a single other white person.
Attracting glances, stares, and many laughs from the locals, we threaded our way among the crowd, bumping our heads on the umbrellas and elbowing little old women in the forehead. A bowl of fried rice and a smoothie had seemed a sufficient breakfast, but we couldn't resist the balls of coagulated pig's blood, long-cooked eggs, and slices of meat reminiscent of the scraps of bacon left on your plate because they are all fat. Delicious. Different curries, fried balls of things, women hacking away at pig intestines, frogs and fish in various stages of life and death, and lots and lots of rice.
So far, today's been better.

When do we get to see pics?
As soon as we take some worthy of posting and actually take the time to upload them. I'll have a flickr page which I'll link to, in addition to posting some on the blog itself. soon.
Yyyyyyyoooooooo! Fellaz! Watch out for the "lady-boys"!!! They look like a hot ladies but guess what??? NOT SO. ANy way I'm a big fan of the blog so far and It's been keeping me glued to the monitor. Seriously though, I herd some dudes got scammed on a con where they say that "today is the only day to buy sapphires tax free and you can make big money by buying some and sending them home!" not so again! You're gonna look spiffy in those suits though, I'm thinking Blues Brothers meets Jonny Quest! Sawadee Cup $G.
This is great info to know.
