Thailand
We flew out of Seattle Tuesday afternoon. Traveling included a 3 hour drive over the snowy pass to Seattle, an hour and a half bus and train ride to the airport, one 10 hour flight to Tokyo, one 6.5 hour flight to Bangkok, and a half hour or so van ride to our hotel. We were able to get to bed by 2:30 AM Thai time which was 11:30 AM in Yakima. Although it was a very LONG stretch it all went well with out any delays or issues. We were thankful for that.
Dave and I were able to stay awake when needed to be able to more efficiently adjust to the time difference. We're 15 hours ahead of Yakima. We are feeling pretty good today.
We got to walk some of the streets of Bangkok which was quite an experience. We went to the mall and although they did have a nice department store, they also had a whole level dedicated to all these little stores selling a lot of Thai souvenirs, clothes etc. Things are pretty cheap which made shopping so much more fun. :-) We ate lunch in the mall restaurant and had Fish ball soup and Pad Thai which we both wonderful, along with some great smoothies!
We have a couple more days here before we connect with the international workers and take a bus to Hua Hin. I'm enjoying Bangkok but am also excited to meet the youth and start building relationships with them. It's going to be a great week!
We just got back from eating dinner down the street at a small restaurant called "A lot of Cuisine". I had some great crispy chicken with white rice. Love Thai food!
Here's a picture of my breakfast here in the hotel this morning:
