21 hour layover in Bangkok was, as predicted, overwhelming. THE DENSITY. e.g. 1. Khao San rd. This is where apparently all of the backpackers congregate at night. What you will find on this road: street food every 10 feet, local musicians covering american classics,...

Not quite the wild, actually. More like into the unknown. Calvin and I parted ways this morning. It was a little sad. He wrote his address in my notebook next to all the other addresses of people, we’ve traveled with. Of course, he pointed out the sentimentality...

Just very quickly: We’re about to board a plane to Penang, Malaysia after only 30 hours in Bangkok. Despite the short time spent here, we got a very good idea of the city: Big giant buddhas, traffic congestion, supreme mass of humanity, huge wats, upscale...

We’re in Bangkok now. This is the first image our worried parents would send to us when we arrived: But we saw none of that. - At time of posting in Bangkok, it was 84.2 °F - Humidity: 79% | Wind Speed: 2km/hr | Cloud Cover: few...
