Arrived in Bangkok just before midnight. Got to see foreigner craziness in Khaosan Road (AKA tourist ghetto). Happy New Year everybody!

Tomorrow, I start my 2+ week vacation in Thailand! (Well, at least the long airplane ride portion of it….)
We’ll land in Bangkok approximately 2 hours before the new year. The current plan includes a trek leaving from Chaing Mai, jot over to Angor Wat, and some major beach time down south. But we’re not sticking to a schedule – so we’ll see where the trip takes us!
A few helpful facts about Thailand:
- Timezone: GMT/UTC +7 (AKA: 15 hours ahead of PST)
- Currency: 1 USD = 41.0754 THB
- Religion: 95% Buddhist, 4% Muslim
- Weather: High 90F, Low 73F (Saturday in Bangkok)
So, after much reluctance, i’ve decided to keep a small blog. I’m leaving for thailand later this week, and I thought it would be nice to be able to share stories and pictures.
(Note: since I’m still using a film camera, the uploading of pictures will probably take a while 
)

p.s. I’ve also determined that of all the themes that wordpress offers, I like the default the best. I am so boring.
p.p.s. Oh…. and Merry Christmas!
