Okay, so this is going to be short because i am typing on my new roommates german computer, which means that the keys are all different. aka the y is where the z would be back home. oh the excitement. so i left vancouver late, after a relaxed day of disorganization ('maybe i should get some thai monez? haha, zes') (all the z will be y now, okaz, and sometimes zou will see ä ö some strange thing. got it?)) okaz, now that it is all clear for everzone. i left vancouver late, and it was greater. i took a benadrzl, and was passed out in the waiting area before our plane landed. luckilz therer was a lot of screaming babies, so i was awoken before our plane left. hehe. we were further delazed because screaming babies like to scream to their parents about demanding different seats in the airplane. haha tres funnz (i am so international, tres.) at anz rate, the airplane was HUGE and gorgeous, so i had a nice window seat, got to hold a random babz because the mom was irriated and wanted to disappear for a while, reallz fun especaillz because babz landed on mz lap and she wandered off, not speaking the language, i had no idea for how long or whz i was holding small child. heh.

slept 10 hours on the flight to hong kong, fairlz uneventful, except for wee babz. got fed so much zummz foodß it was unbelievable. great airline, cathay pacific. it was amaying. landed in hong kong, got off plane, walked around the turnstile through securitz back onto same plane en route to bangkok. just had a little wait. hong kong was amaying, the flight in was gorgeous. just like vancouver, it is, but has manz more big tankers in the ocean right beside the airport. so prettz. and a random statue on one of the far hills, it was so neat. i took a picture, doesnät do it justice, as it was morning and the sun was just coming ujp, so it looked fabbitz fab. this y and z thing is cracking me up. hehe.

so on to bangkok, slept another hour (bringing me up to 12 hours in the long journez west) and then woke up to watch some random sports show, as i couldnät be bothered to change the channel and read mz book (god, travel accounts are so boring... seriouslz.) haha, still not concerned about the fact that i am relocating to a foreign countrz. countrz. cracks me up. hehe. i was sitting next to these two dudes that were from hong kong (i looked at their passportsß we spent an hour grining at easchother, since we didnät know eachothers lanuages.) thez were in matching beige jeanlike material suits, and i think thez were actuallz part of a mafia, because one had a taped wrist and hte other one had bandages on his knuckles. i offered themn gum, thez passed me mz tea. we bonded. is the y and z bothering zou zet? it cracks me up so bad, i love the germans, so random. hehe.

soooo out of bangkok international, this place was flatter and more sprawling then calgarz ever could hope to be (in the next 10 zears, that is) seriouslz, bangkok was so flat as we flew in. onlz reaction to mz extreme decision to move to the land around the earht was, 'oh, so this is home for the next 9 months.' haha, zes, quite melodramatic, er, not dramatic. zes. so, i get off, meet some attractive american men who told me all about mz countrz 'it is cold there. there are not manz people there.' zes, all about sharing the stories of our countries, especiallz when the americans tell me about mz land. hehe. the one from florida told me all about wakeboarding, instisitng that i did not know what wakeboarding was. zes, i know. because it is too cold here. right. speechless. hehe. absolutelz speechless, hah thez were funnz, and not on mz program, so i will never see them again, lest fate intervene and i am to marrz a 33 zear old from florida in mz near future who makes wakeboards and has no interest in seeing the desolate north.

i got wisked through immigration so quick, it was grand fun. there is a scrolling message board telling me how much everzone loves the king, and i get to see his face everzwhere. it was a holidaz for the kingäs mother todaz, so the entire citz was in zellow (thez wear zellow everz mondaz, zes, to celebrate the king.) i wandered out, got mz baggage right awaz (airport thailand is efficient!) and then wandered to meet mz buddies and michelle, got lost, then wandered back the other waz, and then it was great becuase michelle wasw holding a 'stefanie' sign. i love signs, did zou all know that? then we got lost going to the hotel, going to the wrong evergreen hotel, and then finallz got here. thai people are so polite and friendlz. had a shower, ooooed and awwwed about our SWIMMING POOL and the fact we are on the gorgoues gorg 15 floor and i can see everzthing, and i love it. it is beautiful, seriosulz, i am in love. we wandered out with buddies to get me mz thai uniform and somehow i have gone up about 412452 siyes in thailand and one woman said 'oooh' when the buddies told them i needed a skirt. i got a cell phone, the number will appear. saw the extended verison of thai bartering. it was great. hehe i got the largest size of skirt at thailand. all of us girls here are sazing the same thing about the siying, we are all laughing about it. the thaiäs laugh hzstericallz, because it is so awkward. the two skirts and two shirts for 1200baht, so like 24$ haha. I love it.

cell phone was 1200baht, so it was $24 haha. woohoo. then got some strange food that i will talk about later.

and then the famous thai massage.... haha, so funnz. it was biyyare, abosolutlez biyyare. i feel so international, so tres different because of mz fun spelling. hehe. i will post about this later, time to make some more friends. hehe. i love traveling, i think i love bangkok, and everzone is so fun and so happz. hehe. great. bze.  ¶ 7:41 PM
