At 9:30 pm on Thursday, August 27th, I am sitting in my hostel room and ready for bed. It has been a long but good day in my new city. We moved to a differen hostel this morning; to a hostel in a more touristy part of town near Khoasan Road. After dropping off our bags, we headed out to see the city. We negotiated with a Tuk Tuk driver and we were taken from one temple to the next for little more than pennies. We ended out tour of the area on Khoasan Road where we had dinner and walked the merchadise stalls. My first impressions of the city were: 1. Bangkok has crazy drivers, just as in all other parts of the world besides the USA. 2. Thai's are a very friendly people who engage you often. 3. The food is fantastc. The two meals I have had so far were superb.
I have a lot to learn and thinking about it is a bit dauting. I speak only one word of Thai, I have no job, and we have yet to search for an apartment. Although this is only my first day, I feel the need to settle in and find my corner of Bangkok.
