I made it!!!

After nearly 20 hours in the air, 10 hours in airports, and a cab ride in to the city I finally made it to Bangkok yesterday. I have to admit it's a lot like what people decribed to me. The streets are full of people, the roads are full of cars, and the air is hot and filled with car exhaust.

However, I think I'm going to like it here. Everything is so different and the heat is a welcomed break from how freezing Cincinnati was when I left. I've also started seeing some of the things I've heard so much about. For example, when walking with Natalie last night we saw plenty of old men with young Thai girls and I think I spotted a few ladyboys. I didn't have my camera with me but I'll have to get some pictures. We also saw some things I really wasn't expecting. Like I had no idea my dinner at a street side restaurant would be interupted by a baby elephant.
