We arrived in Bangkok in the early afternoon, which was just enough time for us to get our barings and then visit Ko San Rd. Our hotel was great this time, and it was close to everything. The second day we walked to the Grand palace/ Wat Pra Koeo and made our way through the flocks of tourists to visit the temple and to get out of the heat.

We just flew out of Taipei. It was unfortunatly raining ( or misting) the whole time we were there, however we were not going to let a little tropical storm ruin our trip. Our hotel was about one street-walker short of a brothel. I won't go into the state of the hotel room, but lets just say if I could have worn a full body condom I would have.

Hey everybody! We’re writing from Seoul for the second time. Get used to it because we’ll be here for awhile. I’ve started teaching little kids to say naughty things and confusing older kids with the theory of gravity. Before I go on to more about Seoul, I wanted to tell everybody about our time in San Francisco. I’m sorry we didn’t get any pictures, but it was cloudy, or rainy, or night-time while we were there, so no luck. But we...
