Leslie and I arrived last night in Bangkok without a hitch! The things that stand out:
-- people are really, really proud of their country and want to help you in any way
-- things are very inexpensive
-- the driving here is absolutely insane...blind faith gets you through
-- tuk-tuks are the way to go - little moped-like rickshaws
-- buddahs are all over...there are 3000 in Bangkok alone
-- extreme fruits and veggies abound
-- monks are all over - talking on cell phones, eating, cruising
-- pollution is abundant
-- air conditioning is really appreciated
-- the weather isn't unbearble ... it's definitely warm, but not boiling
-- motorcyclists are everywhere
-- thai massages are great!
we are really enjoying ourselves and thankfully the 12 hour time change hasn't affected us yet. check out leslie's blog - www.puddledog.blogspot.com - to hear what she has to say about this whole bangok thing! we leave for river kwai tomorrow and i'll most likely have internet again in 4 days. until then, adios!

It sounds like so much fun!
hey catie...it's alex
don't forget to get me the fisherman's pants. it would be a great reason for you to explore koh san road. this is where all the travelers hang out. you can also check out silom and patpong...if you feel really freaky! there's a place called superman...i think
you can also go to lumphini...to watch some thai boxing. make sure to sit on the third level where the locals sit and it's really cheap!
hey catie - leyla here. have fun, see you when you get back. don't forget to try durian... xox, leyla
alex wants you to drink snake blood for fertility.
Alex - Ko San Road is crazy (too touristY) and even has a Starbucks BUT I will go back for you and get some fisherman's pants. what color? I have seen in white and off white.
HI LEYLA AND JOHANNA!!!! Miss you!
Hi, I was looking for sites that have information on water garden pittsburgh pa
to add to my newsletter when I found your site.
I enjoy searching the Internet and finding information on my hobby of water gardening and sharing that information with others.
I hope that you will pay my site a visit as well.
Thanks,
