I'm Exotic :)

So the flight was smooth. I slept a good portion of the 25 hours I was on a plane. The flight from San Fran to Tokyo was great bc I had an entire row to myself so I laid out like I was in first class. :)  During the long layover in Narito, Japan I met some girls on their way to Thailand which was nice. Too bad they aren't spending much time in Bangkok, but it looks like now neither will I. I had my meeting with BFITS today and they want me to take the job in Pathun Thani, which is an hour north of Bangkok. Basically it's suburbia. I was pretty bummed about that because I was psyched about getting a gig here in the city, but I will try and remain positive and assume
that whatever happens is what is supposed to be...I am in the land of Karma after all, and I gotta go with what mine gives me. I will be spending the weekend and possibly most of next week here in Bangkok though and the
director of BFITS mapped out an area he thinks I should live in which is actually very close to one of the areas of Bangkok where lots of foreigners (meaning people like me lol) live.

I got up super early this morning and walked around a lot and took some pics of the area I'm currently in which I will post below. There is just so much to see and take in so it's sensory overload! The food stalls are the coolest, but I'm too afraid to order bc none of it looks familar and it's all written in Thai and no one speaks English, so it should be good for my diet. I did try some authentic Pad Thai today, but I gotta say, I wasn't too impressed. Personally I think the American version tastes better. It's around 3 in the afternoon on Thursday the 14th and I'm pretty tired. The jet lag is starting to kick in a bit and I think I may take a nap.  Will write more soon.
