Photos from Tao - Hopefully we can put up the diving pics when we develop the film. Gotta get one of those underwater digital cameras.
Bangkok is a whole different place when you're actually trying to spend money. And when you're taken around by a local. I really wish I knew what it is that is different about us now, but we're approached differently by the touts this time around. Do we really look that much more impatient now? Or did we really look that clueless back then? I'm guessing a bit more of the latter. Not to say they completely leave us alone - we should be so lucky. There are just fewer that bother with us and they seem to give up a bit earlier. Whatever it is, I'm not going to complain.
Shabbat in Bangkok seemed to explode since the last time we were here. There were hundred more people this time and they even ran out of challah rolls by lunch! We never did quite figure out why that one Israeli backpacker was walking the halls in just his boxers, but it didn't seem to phase the staff too much. Perhaps it was not his first time. We ran into some nice Israelis (seriously) that we had met in Chiang Mai and compared stories for the rest of Shabbat. More importantly, we finally had ourselves some meat!! Vegetarians claim they feel so much better than when they ate meat. I don't see it. Now we're just counting down the days until we can eat some good meat. Seriously, Adam.
Flight leaves at 6:30 AM for Tokyo, so I'm waiting around while Adina naps. I may go back and fix up/add captions to some of the older albums on picasa, so give it a look. Or at least pretend you did when we ask.
We've got three days to explore Tokyo before heading back to the states on Thursday (and traveling back in time as we do. Take off at 11, land at 10:45 - amazing!!) Don't worry though, we've still got two more weeks of fun after that before heading home. Do they have internet cafes in Acadia?
