February 27, 2004More on Whores and LadyboysSo the other night, we went out with a Belgian dude from Jim's Scuba diving class.

It's my own fault for thinking Patong would be ok. The guidebook says, Yes, it is...Read this update February 22, 2004Doing What I Do Best in PatongLeave me alone for one day and I'll find some way to have an adventure, by accident. Leave it to me to turn a short walk to the post office into a hours-long sweaty, thirsty ordeal. [sigh]...Read this update How to Choose a Hotel RoomKelly's Rules for Choosing a Hotel Room In our short time of traveling, there are many things that have become apparent. When you are looking for a hotel and you look at the room, you need to do more than...Read this update February 21, 2004Island ParadiseWe took a cheap little tour from Ao Nang called the "5 Island Tour." I don't remember any of the islands' names except Hong Island. First we got on a rickety longboat with lots of Frenchies (fun group...NOT) and...Read this update February 20, 2004Finally BEACHES!Sorry I haven't posted lately-- I've been too busy hanging out on the BEACH!! Ha, ha, ha to all you suckers in the snow....Read this update February 17, 2004In KrabiAgain, had a whole post, internet crapped out. We are now in Krabi after a night train to Bangkok and a flight here. No beaches yet. Later!...Read this update Krabi .. what did I expect for a $5 room?We took the night train to Bangkok last night and arrived at the airport around 5 AM, not looking forward to spending half a day in nasty Bangkok before our flight to Krabi at 5pm. Thank heaven, we got on...Read this update February 14, 2004Leaving Chiang MaiJim and I realized last night that we need to make our plans for getting out of here. The night train to Bangkok for tonight was full so we got one for tomorrow. Then we got a flight to Krabi,...Read this update Thai Cooking Class!Today Jim and I partook in a cooking class through our guesthouse. (All the guesthouses around here organize cooking and trekking). Us and an Australian girl were first driven to a market where our teacher showed us a few things...Read this update Trekking in Chiang MaiIn the past two days, Jim and I did what everyone does in Chiang Mai-- go on a trek and take Thai cooking classes. I decided to break this into 2 posts since they will be long. So. The trek....Read this update February 11, 2004Chiang MaiOh man, we found an internet cafe where the pages don't take a minute to load. This is a FIRST. I am so mad I don't have Jim's CD here with the new pics. Before I forget--Lipton makes a canned...Read this update February 10, 20046 Fingered MassageOk. Today we took our first tuk-tuk (motorized short of bike transportation) to Wat Pho. (In case you forgot, a wat is a Buddhist temple). It was really cool looking. The wats are about the only redeeming quality of Bangkok....Read this update February 09, 2004AyuthayaWell, another day in Bangkok. There are't many redeeming qualities about this city, so far.... it is extremely polluted, smells really bad, are tons of mosquitoes, can be really hot and humid, and it is dirty. The good thing: DIRT...Read this update February 08, 2004Bangkok & Khoa San RdYesterday we just walked around the street we are staying on, Khoa San. It is OVERRUN with tourists. It's crazy. There are at least four 7-11s on the short little street. But in a way it is kind of nice.....Read this update February 07, 2004Where am I?!Last night Jim went to the Body Works exhibit and I stayed at the hostel to read up on Bangkok, since I haven't read a page of the guidebook yet and it was freaking me out. After he left I...Read this update February 06, 2004The Zoo & moreToday we went to the Singapore Zoo, and it was awesome. I liked it better than the Bronx Zoo. It was smaller, but the animals were RIGHT there, peacocks and roosters walking on the sidewalks...monkeys jumping around so close you...Read this update February 04, 2004Needles Through FleshDon't worry, I'll get to the needle part... To continue what I was writing in the last post-- we had a local fruits night, where we tried jackfruit, pomelo, mangosteen and the famous durian. I thought it was so awesome...Read this update February 03, 2004My Tummy Hurts AlreadyWe are staying at a hostel called The Inn Crowd in Little India, which means exactly what it sounds like.
