Thailand
I'm in Thailand!
I can't upload photos (slow computer) and I can barely type (old keyboard) but I'm here!
Today I went to the Grand Palace and some temples and managed to take the monorail (Skytrain) and the watertaxis on the river without getting lost. A tuk tuk (motored tricycle) driver tried to scam me 16 ways from Tuesday ("I can't bring you to the pier, it's too rainy and yesterday 6 people died from China yesterday.") and I didn't fall for any of it. Amazing, don't you know, Thailand is having a special today, free petrol for tuk tuk drivers for tourists.
Yeah, right.
The street food here is fantastic. And best of all—NO KIMCHI!

Congrats on getting the safely. Glad your haven't gotten lost, yet. Pretty quiet on the KR without you there.

I wondered where you got off to. Hope you've had a lovely time away from the Kimchi.

My dad called my Skype account and asked me "What is 'chimchi?' Is it rotting pork flesh or something?" I just about died laughing.
I'll get pictures up ASAP!
