Erm, sorta.
There was a slight problem in transit and my bike was left behind in Seattle....with the host of my other goods in that box including.sunblock...ouch. However it's no biggy. I don't leave Bangkok until Sunday (It's Friday right now). The flight was long, stopping off in Japan made me miss it but getting here....you know...surprisingly I'm not culture shocked at all. Since I was in 'Nam last year I feel like I've gotten used to this kind of environment and it feels sorta....homely.
The taxi driver I had was pretty crazy. In the back of his car had all these posters of places where you can get a "massage". He also suggested I pay him a set price instead of the meter, which was more expensive, and go to another hotel because mine was "very bad". Once he realised he wasn't going to scam me he was actually really helpful. I appreciated talking to him and he woke up the receptionist for me sooo yeah.
I just wish I had my bike...
Today I'm going to try and make my way to a place to get my Cambodian visa and a few other things I couldn't acquire before I left and if my bike comes tonight I should be set!!
On Sunday I'm taking a bus to a town on the east coast so I don't have to deal with traffic here (this city is massive!!!). Anyways that's what's going on with me, I'll have more up later....
but now, it's breakfast time!!
