Manhattan Bangkok

HI!<br><br>I know it has been like 123 days since our last entry. Where has the time gone? If you are like us, you are incredibly busy this time of year. Needless to say, we really haven't done anything too crazy the past few weeks, but I do have a hodge-podge of various new pictures to upload, from Lauren and Halloweeen, to a festival, and most notably from when we went to the Zoo! The ...

... picture so that our friends back home would actually believe we went to Thailand. The man kept referring to the temple as "his temple", but he wasn't a<br>monk (we asked), but he seemed like a real nice guy so we struck up a conversation. When he found out we were planning on staying in Bangkok for a few days, he exclaimed, "Why?! Bangkok is stinky and loud." He proceeded to give us a good sales pitch for the elephant trekking tours up in Northern ...

... 8220;street&#8221; that had a gaurd at the entrance of it. We thought nothing of it and walked on through. As we continued walking, we noticed that it smelled bad. Like really bad. Like horse poo. We walked a little bit more down this &#8220;street&#8221; and came upon all of these horse trailers. We started to realize that maybe we weren&#8217;t on an actual street, but we knew that if we kept going, there would have to be an exit sometime. As we kept walking we started to pass by a ...

... Quadra-lingual like myself. Every once in a while I come across Deca-linguals as well<br> <br> I knew that teaching Spanish in Bangkok would be a challenge seeing that some didn&#8217;t even know what "Hola" meant, so I knew I needed some help. One of the student's first assignments was to go on to Polyglot and create for themselves a polyglot profile, just like on face book or MySpace. I elicited this by sharing my profile with them on the projector. They ...

... had any so it was impossible to update pictures or anything.<br><br>A quick update: I am now in Bangkok again and planning on heading to Koh Tao in a few days to relax in an apartment on the beach and hopefully dive a bunch. I plan on trying to organize the millions of pictures I have as I bought a computer here in Thailand and will try to update the blog a bit. Been a crazy adventure with so ...

... s basically how it was with internet. Its like in America where the cable man says that he will be there from 12-3, and you just have to be available during that time, well in Thailand they tell you they will be their on Thursday but not necessarily which Thursday. So anyways we seriously have been waiting 3 weeks for internet and finally have it! Hooray. And we have so many pictures and video that it was impossible to go to an internet café and upload everything. So lets ...

... ll find all the biggest names you'd expect, as well as some new and<br>niche toy makers from around the ...

... the station and were pretty forced into buying the tickets to Phangan in one go. Expensive and also a pain in the ****. We couldnt have gone ourselves - the taxi (no bus) to the pier was 60km outside Surat. ****ing rip off starting again. Last week Ads. Just chill!<br><br>Got the ferry along with about 350 more people (thats what the maximum on the boatside said, but I reckon there was more) and it was sooo cramped. Fell asleep for mini sleeps before someone bumped past, and slept dodgiliy ...
