One night in Bangkok - take 1.

Well after 30+ hours of travel, heading through Seattle, then jumping the pond to Tokyo, we arrived in Bangkok around midnight and crashed in the airport hotel for a night. 

Now, we sit in the airport, awaiting our Sri  Lanka Airlines flight to Colombo, Sri Lanka. Unfortunately, we arrive too late to get the only train into the hill country (10 hour trip) so instead we will grab a taxi for a nice, "short" 6 hour ride to Ella. The driving in Sri Lanka is notoriously chaotic and with hilly, curvy roads for SIX HOURS, I'm sure to be a nauseous mess by the time we get to our small homestay in the hills.  But all in the name of travel, right?

The most interesting thing we found so far is this orange-pineapple-banana soft drink in Bangkok. I'm not sure where the toxic waste green color comes from (certainly not from oranges, pineapples or bananas), but they've coordinated their soda can nicely with the contents. 


I take that back. The most interesting thing we've seen was the all glass shower stall toilet booth in the hotel room. But Tom wouldn't let me take a picture of him in there, I can't imagine why. But, in all honesty, you should thank him for that.

I am actually amending this log entry. I take it back, THE most interesting thing we've seen so far has just been upgraded to this. A woman with a stuffed cat ON HER HEAD. No additional words needed.
