We made it! It was an incredibly long, sort of brutal trip. I watched 5 movies on the first flight-and could have watched more! I saw The King’s Speech (pretty good), Love and Other Drugs (not bad), Black Swan (again. Still good), True Grit (pretty good. Like an old western movie), and Morning Glory (okay. Was in and out of sleeping). I also watched a couple Friends episodes. I have to say I was sick of watching movies by the end of that flight.
We flew Korean Air which was great! They fed us nonstop. Meals like a BiBimBop bowl (I think that’s what it’s called?) so actually pretty unique meals for plane food.
We got in last night at about 1 in the morning Thailand time, so around 1pm our time? We’re in Bangkok right now and today we went through a ton of street markets. I love those! There are so many exotic fruits and veggies that I’ve never seen before. It’s a little challenging because most vendors don’t speak english so we have no idea what we’re eating.
I had a great lunch today though. We had sweet coconut sticky rice with mangoes. It was pretty refreshing considering it’s like, a million degrees here (so humid!).
We’re definitely having great, interesting time. We saw the reclining Buddah which was awesome! It is HUGE.
Time to get back to exploring! Hope you’re all doing well!!

Thanks for updating us! Wow, I would get sick of movies after watching 5! I can’t look at Anne Hathaway the same way after watching her in Love and other drugs…she sure isn’t the sweet girl in Princess Diaries anymore.
