Bangkok

Well I have finally arrive in Bangkok, Thailand. Only took 25 hours in total plane and travel time but it was well worth it. Had a long lay over in Beijng and it very smoggy there. Thought it was cloudy all day but than when plane was taking off realized it was a super sunny day and the cloud was just smog. Bangkok is pretty smoggy too but doesn't seem as bad. I got in late last night so went on a little wander around Khao San Rd, the famous backpacker and market area of town. Neon signs, street vendors, clothes. shops, bars, hostels, you name it and Khao San Rd has it. Resisted the urge to buy anything as whatever I buy now I still have to carry around for the next 4 months. I did however buy some stuff today at the Chatuchak Market. It is the large weekend market and when they say large they mean large. It has everything! Clothes, food, furniture, pets, household items, motorcycles and cars. So much stuff and so many people walking around too. Lots of tourists but more Thai locals getting bargains and new clothes. Now my feet are a little tired but my belly is asking for Pad Thai so off to Khao San for dinner. Will go see the Royal Palace and Emerald Buddha tomorrow and in the next couple of days head up to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Will write again soon x

Getting ready..

After a big trip to Mec and Walmart yesterday I am slowly starting the packing process. Have to pack up the room as well as pack my stuff for the big trip. It seems like a daunting task and the "to do" of trip preparations seems to get bigger and bigger even as I cross things off. With only a couple weeks left, I definitly need to get on it though. In other news, I finished the video and application for the Transat Holidays Vacationer position. I know it is a long shot to get the job but applying is the first step and since it is my dream job I definitely needed to apply. I will let you know how it goes as the top 100 video are picked for tomorrow and than goes to a voting process online. Wish me luck! Well, considering I have been sitting around editting videos for the last week I am off to the gym to get a little exercise in. Till next time

The first one

So this the first blog to my South East Asia travels. Only 25 days to go till I fly out for Bagkok. Lots to do in that time and the list keeps getting bigger. I have also decided to apply for the Airtransat vacationer job. It is a my dream job! The only issue is that it kinda conflicts with my travels but I am willing to postpone the travels if I got the job. It would be so worth it! Anywho, I should get on editting the application video I have to make and to get on packing. Will post again soon
