it's happened...
I eat Pad Thai noodles for every meal...
I have my hair dreaded...
I wear clothes I bought from the street markets...
My Jewellery is needlessly oversized and plentiful...
I HAVE KHAO SARN SYNDROME!
Nooooo - how did this happen?

Actually, I'm quite enjoying it!!!

We've been in Bangkok now for about 4 days. It's really cool here... and SO FRIENDLY too.
I guess we're a bit overwhelmed with the friendliness after India!

So far our time here has been a bit domintated with how ill I am. Went to the Adventist hospital today, quite close by, and was a bit comforted by how nice and friendly the staff were. I had to get some chest X-Rays and give some urine samples... turns out I have bronchitis (which explains the 3week cold) and also some form of urine tract infection, which is pleasant :(

Anyways, it means we'll have to stay here in Bangkok an extra few days (as I have to go back to the hospital). Otherwise our plans mostly involve travelling up to northern thailand, crossing the border into Laos and then Cambodia.
If my illness gets any worse though I'll probably head down south (to the beach islands) myself for a couple of weeks, and Camilla will travel all the planned journey herself (as i feel TERRIBLE for ruining her plans!!)

That means that I'll be able to come back up to Bangkok if needed.

GRRRR!

Otherwise we've mainly been soaking up the markets and (espceially) the GREAT food here!
it's been fun but I can see why people may get a bit bored after a while.
Tomorrow we're going to try explore (i.e. leave the Khao Sarn road-*shock*-) and perhaps going on a boat ride or something!
which should be fun.

Anyways, I think - on that note- i shall conclude this entry.... NOW!
