So far we have loved exploring Bangkok! It is such a diverse and bustling city. We spent our first in Bangkok in the "convenient grand hotel" which was both grand and convenient! We woke up to a continental breakfast and an outdoor pool all to ourselves. :) The initial culture shock was fully received when we took a taxi into the heart of Bangkok. We are staying in a neighbourhood not occupied by tourism, and although we enjoyed khao sarn road, we feel safe and comfortable in our little neighbourhood where we are the only "gringos." Today we caught our local bus (a pickup truck with a canopy over the bed) and transferred onto a water taxi which took us to the famous wat pho temple. This temple is the home to the largest reclining buddha in the world. Or at least the largest reclining Buddha we've ever seen... :P 

7/11 is a handy best friend for all our basic needs, and air conditioning. We took a tuk tuk to a tuk tuk to a huge mall and experienced some of bollywood's best on the big screen. Talk about haiiiigh rollers! 

Looking forward to the rest of our stay here in the Bangkok. 

Crushed it. 

Ta for now. 

Travel so far = great successes! We have sailed smoothly all the way to Tokyo yo. It's not uncommon to see these three amigos roaming the airport halls either practicing our Thai numbers or chanting Asia Asia Asia! We spent a restless night in San Fran but now know every single announcement by heart. On our 10 hour flight Mac and Em were not so conveniently placed between two huuuuge men- inked and pierced from head to toe. They offered us candy and told us it wasn't laced- don't worry mom we didn't take it... Looking forward to Bangkok and conquering jet lag!
