West meets East

After spending three months in Southern Thailand teaching children about sustainable tourism and English, I will be traveling independently throughout Southeast Asia (destinations to be determined). I will try to access my blog as often as possible but at the same time I will try to spend as much time as possible outside of internet cafes, experience my surroundings. Wish me luck...

Goodbye Asia

It's now 3:00 am and I a, at the brand new Bangkok airport where I have been for several hours now. I spent Saturday night walking along the river in Singapore with a former computer engineer and a Dane that had been sheep farming in Australia. Sunday morning meant a western breakfast at DeliFrance, a family favorite, and then a brief tour of Little India. I didn't want to do the Indians an injustice but there is only so much blaring Hindi music and incense you can take. And just like Chinatown, there is more useless junk to buy than the worst $1 Store imaginable. Well I returned to Bangkok just in time to grab my bags and ironically enough I had dinner with the girl I met on my first flight to Thailand. The Korean barbeque (her treat) might have been the best meal I have had to date. Money is running out on the computer but I will be home before you know it. Goodbye Asia... for now.
