I'm Leavin on a Jet Plane...

Sunday Feb 6th.

I flew into Bangkok on China airlines. My favorite is still Singapore Air. They're the best! China airlines was okay but I think I was a little turned off b/c I was sandwiched between two men, who were really nice, but one of them happened to be rather stinky: as in that bad breath smell. Imagine that for 12 hours with no airflow and no escape. It actually made me nauseous. Then I had a seven hour layover in the Taipei airport which is not a cool international airport by any stretch of the imagination. I also had no idea I'd be there that long (obviously didn't check my itinerary very thoroughly). I met a girl from Dublin though and that helped pass the time. I bought a tea for something like $6 american. oops...

I arrived in Bangkok at 1:00am (another oversight on my part). Rather than wander around the streets of Bangkok by myself at 2:00am I opted for staying at the cheapest hotel near the airport that I could get which happened to be $40. I was scared so I didn't feel up for wandering the streets alone, but it just about made me cry to spent that much considering I'm supposed to be on a tight budget! Ah well, Cest la vie. For $40 at least I got a free bottle of whisky which I considered taking with me just in case =) haha

and so the adventure begins...
