Bangkok

The flight to Bangkok was 11 hours, which is even longer than it took to get to Germany. Thankfully I was able to sleep for most of it. The best part of staying awake for so many hours the day before was that I seem to have skipped over the worst of jet lag. The time difference is something like 14 hours from Portland, but I didn't have any trouble adjusting. Bangkok is hot hot hot and humid humid humid! I don't really like it all that much. We stayed at an "American" hotel for the first night to figure out where we would go next. I had no idea how big bangkok is. Everywhere you look, the city goes on and on. The traffic is insane. It takes forever to get anywhere. We had a few days before we had to go north, so we decided to go south a little ways the next day.
