I just arrived in Bangkok & checked in to my hotel.  I already don't like the city, people who stand outside wear masks because of the pollution.  The flights I took were soooooo long, the cool thing on China Airlines was that you get your own mini screen & get to pick what movies you want to watch, or you can play video games or listen to music.  We also got 2 meals on that plane right & I think it was like a 13 hr flight.  My hotel is pretty sweet looking, except the door to my balcony doesn't lock, so thats not good.  Looks like a pretty nice place other than that though.  Getting out of the airport wasn't too hectic except my bag I checked came out covered in oil or something, so that sucks.  I took some cool pictures, some from some museum in the airport in Taipai & some of my room.  I think its actually bigger than my dorm room back home!  I'll post pictures of  the stuff later, but the internet connection is pretty slow & I'm really hungry.  I'm excited to go explore, & I might goto the fights @ Lumpini stadium tonight.  The cost went up to like 25$ though, so I'm not sure if I will.   I wish I had someone to travel with me, on the plane I saw a couple other groups of people that were traveling and its a shame Janessa or someone couldn't come.  Oh yeah, and I need to work on my money converting skills.  The taxi I got said 650 & I thought $6.50 but it was 650 baht, so like 15/16 bucks or something.

I hate flying... Something about being 30000 feet up in the air during turbulance just makes me feel uncomfortable... But I totally wish I would have gone too, I need to leave Washington and go somewhere cool for a while.
