leaving thailand

so in exactly 12 hours, i leave bangkok. six weeks have already passed. i had a great time hanging out with gong gong and family and friends, discovering thailand, and visiting vietnam. i ate pad thai for the past 2 days and had a mango blizzard at DQ today. i am bringing back lots of different thai food/candy that i hope will pass through customs and won't get crushed in my overstuffed suitcase. i still haven't finished going through emails (1,313 in my inbox! i'll never win), i only read 2 books (actually, that's a lie. i still haven't finished the other one. but i did read the thailand and vietnam guidebooks, and several news mags from 2007/08 - i was just catching up), there were days i sadly did not eat mango, and i don't have a job. but it's time to move on to the next step in my life, whatever that may be.

i'll post later with details and photos about vietnam and thailand now that i'll have time and my laptop. i wasn't online as much as i thought i would be (a good thing) and my internet connection was slow and in thai. i didn't really miss the internet, just a wifi connection. and i definitely did NOT miss my blackberry.

my flight leaves at 11:55am on Friday, may 1st from bangkok. a 3 hour layover in taipei, then leaving at 7:50pm on friday, may 1st and land in San Francisco at 3:55pm on friday, may 1st. i do love time traveling. and i will be there just in time for my pau pau's (grandmother) 90th birthday.

saw wat dee ka, thailand. kap kuhn ka!
