Stretching station

a weekend in bangkok

Look up and you could be in New York, Chicago, or L.A. with the monoliths of skyscrapers and banks. Look around and your senses are snapped back into the reality of Bangkok as mopeds and tuk tuks zip to and fro, the smell of street food tickles your nose and ah yes, that steady trickle of sweat down your back reminds you you're definitely still in southeast Asia.

travel

“We travel initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves… We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate… We travel, in essence, to become young fools again—to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”- Pico Iyer   (Thanks to Bri for this quote)

Thailand- where elephants are in the street, a massage is never hard to find, and every meal is delicious

good morning bangkok!

 The wind has blown me east to Thailand...
where I will be working for 3 months... to say I am over the moon is an understatement!
Real pad thai
Colorful mystery candies

Sleeping guard, as you do
Maxing and relaxing reclining Buddha
Need a massage?
Maybe some noodles?
