Letters from Thailand

Well, we made it to Bangkok... thought my head was going to explode, couldn't even hear out of my right ear, then getting through security and could barely understand what they were saying! haha :P
Then I went to bed as soon as we got to the hotel, which was at 7pm, bk time, and then I woke up at 3:30am, didn't get out of bed till 6am though. Had to get water, we only had a small bottle for the whole night ("Jordan, water... meh meh meh" like dumbledore). Today we went to the train station to get our tickets, so that's what will happen tomorrow, our train leaves at 7:30pm and we get to Krabi at 6:30am, should be sweet.
Today we were scammed! it wasn't so bad, but we got tired of it and made the tuk tuk driver drop us off! it was silly, I will have to explain how it works sometime, don't want to right now... :P
So funny when I went to go on the internet, Alex and Weez's firefly song came on! So cute! Just had early dinner. I'm wondering what's going to "do me in" ...: The Pad Thai from the street vendor, the spicy curry from dinner, the skin on the apple, or the sun... I'll let you know if I ever find out...
We went to Th Khao San Rd, it's super touristy, pretty sure we got ripped off... but getting ripped off usually means add an extra CAD. Tiff you should be excited, got you something that will probably make you shit kittens (and you wouldn't even be annoyed with them) muhahaha, now you must wait 2 months to find out!
Didn't see anything for you Trina, I will find the perfect drawing though! Haha, maybe it will be a hand drawing of J and I, HAHAHA!
What else, it's been a busy day! We went to a temple and got some pics, we also got suckered into buying Holy Water... from a monk... don't know what the fuck we'll do with it...? Also a good luck bracelet, from said monk, all for donations... they're nice...
Bought myself a dress, probably got ripped off, but it really only cost $5.50 hahaha... sooo cheap. J got sandals, and pants, really nice.
Lots of riding in Tuk Tuks! They are crazy, ALL the vehicles, it's like being in a high speed chase that you see on movies, except that's just how they drive, crazy! So much pollution! it's yucky! you can taste it! :( blahhhh!
Well, we'll see what happens tonight and tomorrow then I will be able to tell you more! Okay, miss you still... :)
Love you guys!

The days are sooo hard here! This is what it's been like:
Get up in the morning and go climbing.
Gorge on breakfast.
Go have a nap till it's too hot in the bungalow.
Go to the beach and watch all the hard climber.
Suntan and swim.
Go drink pina coladas and eat shrimp tempura.
Go back to bungalow and read....
just as an example...

-Seen a monkey today... we ran away.
- Love Thailand, still hate Bangkok...
- Our climbing trip to Thailand has turned in to a Vacation with climbing in it!...
- Lots of fat men in speedos...
- Drinking 6L of water a day!...
- Starting speak broken english, with accent...

Hahaha, will update more later!
Love you,
A & J
