Wow, 2011 is almost over, I can't believe how fast the years are rolling by, I remember being young and imagining what it would be like to live in the 2000’s, and here we are 2011 almost over. This morning we got up early at 6:00 am, and took a tour of The Grand Palace and the Emerald Temple. I am happy it was a …

Today we woke up at around 7 AM to go to the Royal Palace. Our tour bus picked us up at 8 AM, and we started driving towards the palace. The king of Thailand used to live at the royal palace, until a new, bigger, more secure palace was built. When we got to the palace at 8:30 AM, we entered and started looking around, and learning things that our …

Finally made it over here after a delay in Taipei due to a typhoon. The weather is humid and the city is busy. We only had two nights in Bangkok so we tried to do all we could. The first day went for a dinner and show. The following day we had a full day tour. The van picked us up at 7:30am at the hotel and dropped us off at 7pm. A long day but it …

... in the 'safe' city of Cairo.   Rounding out my time in Thailand, I saw the world's best show as proclaimed by many, Siam Niramit! The stage for this show is the largest in the World, with 150 performers, a river across the stage, and other props ...

... (less than $.50 a can versus $4 a can out of the hotel mini-bar). That night we went to the Siam Niramit show which is a stage show about Thailand's history. The show itself was okay, but the staging special affects were amazing. At one point there was a ...

... . From Tesco, we bought a squid jerky and Jack fruit. Xue didn't really like the smell of Jack fruit. We were going to go see Siam Niramit, but since we are too tired, we cancelled it. It's only around 8:30PM right now and I'm just totally sleepy. Xue is ...
