Open Buddha

We survived the 16 hours of plane travel in a plane full of Taiwanese. ;-)

We were picked up at the airport by a driver from the hotel. We aren’t as badly off as we could be given that our flight left at 4:00 AM and we had no sleep before that. By sleeping a bit on the plane, our bodies are completely confused but not as jet lagged as when we’ve gone to Europe.

Bangkok is pretty cool so far. The standard of living here actually seems higher than when we were in Greece. Go figure. Everything is relatively cheap except drinks cost more than food. A good coffee costs about 40 baht and a decent meal costs about 40 baht…which is about a dollar so…

We are in an Internet Cafe down the street from our hotel. We have to stay awake in order to completely get on local time. I’ll probably post something more tomorrow. I mainly wanted to check my e-mail.

The day after tomorrow, in the morning, our tour leaves for the north for a week.
