First, let me just say- it's freaking HOT and HUMID in this country!
Jen and I know, because we spent the greater part of yesterday and today walking around in the blazing sun. However, if you ever find yourself in Bangkok, please spend the 250B and go see the Emerald Buddha. It's much cooler in there.
We almost didn't make it to the Emerald Buddha and Wat Pho, because this man insisted that they were both closed due to some Thai holiday, and since we were neither monks nor men, we were not allowed in. LIARS! We got in no problem... along with every other Tom, Ricardo and Henri.
I've been spending the bulk of my money on bottled water, in hopes of avoiding dehydration. I suppose the Singhas and Tigers aren't helping that much.
Every where we've gone, we've had to find the shade to sit in. And every night, we've gone to the bar down the street to see EPL games with the British expats. (What can I say? We love football!) (Also, this place had the most disgusting bathroom I've ever encountered, with the sole exception being the port-a-potties at the Phoenix Bouldering Comp on a Sunday morning.)
Jen feels that I should mention that if you hear we've been jailed in Thailand, it will be because we've punched a tuk-tuk driver in the face, what with their incessant "tuk-tuk" and pointing. And I might add, if we end up in the hospital, it's because we've been run over by one of the red, blue, orange or pink taxis after refusing to acknowledge their incessant beeping.
Ta ta for now!

Should we start some sort of a "get Jen and Kristen out of jail fund"? You know, to be safe.
Well, you've been gone like 4 days now. I really hope by this time you've bought me two presents. Please don't get arrested and get thrown into a Thai prison where people try and trade your bra for a cigarette and you end up teaching the inmates all the words to Like a Virgin. Because this is not Bridget Jones 2 and unfortunately my name is not Mark Darcy. Over and out!
jen is good at picture taking.
