Sorry guys…I know it’s been awhile since my last post. This is the result of several things. Number one…internet is terrible here. Sometimes it works, most of the time, it doesn’t. Number two…I have to pay for the internet here (the horror). And number three…well, I just haven’t really done much in the past six days. I moved down to the islands, Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Samui on the east coast of Thailand. If anyone ha...

Night OneMy first night in Bangkok. I'll admit it...I was tired and maybe just a little bit homesick. But that's okay, because I know me. And I know what to do when times get tough. I knew the cure. I took a taxi to MBK - one of the biggest shopping malls in Bangkok. I ate at Burger King. I went to the movies and saw Breaking Dawn (I know, I know).

Let me start by saying that I was apprehensive about today. Especially after yesterday. Especially because I was going quad biking today. I've never been on a quad bike (think ATV or four wheeler) before. I was nervous. Everyone assured me that it was easy. That if you could drive a car, you could drive a quad bike.
