I have made it here safely to Thailand. After years of wanting to set out on a journey of a life time, I finally have had the opportunity to embark on something I could never possibly forget. I will try my best to keep this up to date and share all amazing and wonderful things I get to experience here in Bangkok. Hopefully you will enjoy what I have to offer.
So lets start off with what has happened in the past couple of days, shall we?
Day one: May 3rd
Well today was the day that I left
home for the trip of a life time. It has
been almost three years since I last moved somewhere, so it is a tad
weird. I arrived at the airport with
little sleep at 3:30am accompanied by my niece, my mom and Mikey. The trip from Winnipeg to Toronto was spent
mostly sleeping. Once we landed in
Toronto, I was able to meet up with some of my close friends. They brought me gifts and wished me luck. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I was
afraid I would have missed my flight. Of
course, I had plenty of time and ended up going for lunch.
As I type this, I am on a 13hr flight to
Seoul, Korea. So far, I have been
passing my time with sleeping, eating (some pretty yummy food for being on a
plane), playing games (like Pacman & Tetris) & watching movies (like OZ
and Silver linings playbook.) We passed
over the Atlantic Ocean, which was filled with ice and provided us with the most incredibly breath taking view. We are all starting to become restless
sitting so long but we still have at least 5 hours to go. Hopefully we will land safely very soon.
We have landed safely in Seoul, Korea and I must say this airport is huge! It has a bunch of interesting things in it to see while we have our layover. Believe it or not, there is even a garden in the bathroom. Just another few hours till Bangkok.
Arriving in Bangkok we could sure feel the heat. At a lovely 30 degrees, the air is humid. We were met by our Lertlah staff to take us safely to what we will call home for the next 10 months.
After dropping our stuff off in our new homes, I was able to send a quick message to let everyone know I was safe, but when it is your first night in Bangkok and you are hungry you can not just stay in. So off we went, (myself and Abbey) to walk down our new street. (our 12hr time difference meant that we were walking at midnight here or noon wpg time.) We scouted out a 7-11, bought some food and went home to get some sleep.
That was our first taste of Bangkok. More to come soon!
