Thailand~

Hey all, my vaca rocked and its great to be with Jeff again. I don't have any crazy stories but basically it went like this:

1) Bangkok-totally sucked. city was dirty, smoggy, and smelly. We spent one day wandering around and riding a boat up and down the unusually brownish-green river. I don't remember too much of this nasty city, because Jeff and I spent most of the time talking and catching up.

2) Chiang mai-fun, but also dirty. This city was certainly interesting. The night market was fun and the massages were relaxing.

We did take a 'tour' which I would argue was the WORST tour ever...we rode elephants that seemed to be mistreated, took a hike in the wilderness, rode a truck to which someone fell out of, stopped in a orchid farm, ran through a butterfly room, visited a run down, destitute village, sat in an uncomfortable OX cart, and then floated down the river listening to the woes of a messed-up relationship.

The night market was fun and being the insane shopper that I am, I couldnt stop looking at all the stuff. I didn't buy that much as it was the same sh*t over and over, not to mention Jeff kept whispering in my 'cheap crap for sale! get your cheap crap!'

One day we hired a took-took-basically a motorcycle with a cart on the back and went on a whirlwind of visiting temples, temples, and more temples, and then to see some jewlery. The took-took became our private car and waited for us at each location. He even picked out a resturant spot and waited while we finished our meal. He was a little crazy and kept laughing...regardless of if we said/did anything or not. He was very amusing.

3) Once we finished in this haven, we jumped on the tiniest plane ever and flew to the tropics!
Koh Samui was gorgeous and we went fishing, snorkeling, swimming, hanging out, drinking rum, wandering around and getting Jeff outfitted in custom clothing.

Overall, Thailand was fun~
