Thailand!

Hey everyone! I'm stuck at the airport in Bangkok, Thailand for a few hours so I thought I would write a little something. So far my trip has been going good. Just one little hiccup-my first flight to Los Angeles was delayed, which would make me miss my connection to Bangkok. Luckily I was able to buy a new ticket with Southwest and get to LAX in time. LAX..the international terminal feels like a foreign country in and of itself. Going through security, the officer is yelling "Pasaporte!" instead of "Passport." I had to stop and ask myself, I'm still in the United States, right? Then I got onto my 17+ hour flight. Thai airlines has quite colorful airplanes-all the seats are bright pink, purple, or orange (mine was pink, if you were wondering :) ). I slept for a bit and then watched Watchmen (it was edited, don't worry Mother!) and really loved it. It's a bit dark and depressing, but it's a more realistic version of the popular "superhero" genre. Well, I'm sure my time on the computer is almost up. I'll update you all again as soon as I can and try to post some pictures (I can't here at the airport). Have a wonderful day!

  1. You got to Bangkok safely! I was very worried, trying not to freak out because you had not called!! Anyway, I spoke with verizon and you have no cell phone coverage in Nepal. I thought you would be able to call us from your cell but I bought the long distance package and you can call me from Nepal from your host's home or they said you could buy a calling card or a prepaid phone and call us! I am so glad you arrived safely! I am so lame I did'nt think to check your blog until now. Looks like everything went as scheduled. It is sunday there but saturday night here. Let us know when you get to Nepal and give me your host family's phone number and the clinic's too! We love you so much! Love, Mom
