Bangkok, Thailand
Greetings from "The Land of the Elephants," according to Miss Lakshmi Gupta.
The only two things you really need to know about Bangkok - it's hot as a mother and there's really good shopping.
We have just been doing the tourist thing - seeing some temples, doing some shopping, we saw the Grand Palace, the world's largest reclining Buddha. And there are monks everywhere, which makes us surprisingly happy :) Lakshmi says you can't touch the monks because they might get aroused. I was kind of hoping for a more spiritual, holy reason that you can't touch the monks, but oh well.
Lizzie left us early this morning - big sad face :( We already miss her. One down, six to go. I'm not ready for this trip to end!
We're excited to get on to Singapore, but it's going to be expensive there...
I'd write more, but our sketchy hostel only gives you 20 minutes of free internet a day...
Cheers!
