It's Day Two of our backpacking trip. It's been real so far. We arrived really early in the morning and headed straight to the hostel. It was 2 am when we settled down on Khao San Road but were too tired to join the drunked revellers on the street (not that I intended to do any of that). So far, it's been pretty much The Beach, sans Leonardo DiCaprio. We spent the whole of yesterday idling around and being pretty damn lazy as well as power-shopping.

Time seems to go real slow here. We sleep in and get up late and walk around and then pause and be like, fuck, it's only been an hour!? I bought a fair amout of stuff and am seiously worried that I could run out of cash or have to haul so much back. But the first rule about going over the check-in limit is you don't talk about check-in limit

I'm in an internet cafe right now, sadly, not the coin-powered one that our lovely hostel provides. I'm not even kidding about the coin-powered one. I tried to upload photos here to show everyone but the computer won't recognize USB. Which sucks.

Earlier wandered through Chinatown and I bought iPod speakers for 200 Baht or 5 US$1! They are also bright red.

Anyway, we have one last day here and tomorrow at buttfuck o'clock in the morning, we are heading to Siem Reap in lovely Cambodia. The trip is by land and will take about 10 hours, plenty of time to snooze. All-in-aoll, Bangkok is as vivid as I remember it, one of my favorite cities in the world and a pleasure to visit from all perspectives.

I can't wait to get to Cambodia and Vietnamm particularly the former, as I have never been there before. Hopefully the internet over there will be as accessible as it is here and I can update a little.

Sountrack so far has been Panic at the Disco's Pretty. Odd., Chris Brown's With You and various David Cook covers.
