News from Thailand

So we are officially in country number 3: Thailand. I was sad to leave phnom penh, our wharf rat guesthouse really grew on me, and we did not have time to see much of the city. However, I am happy to leave khmer food behind, which was kind of a combination of everything asian with nasty ingredients like snakehead fish and chicken feet mixed in. The thai landscape was breathtaking on our flight in. The countryside was scattered with mountains with stainglass-like rice fields carving up the lowlands that reflected the sunlight up to the sky in vibrant olives and browns... it was cool to say the least. We are staying at another guesthouse called the Banana Guest house. The walls are covered with the graffiti of all the other backpackers who have stayed there before, which is really funny. Cant wait to leave our mark. We will be doing some kind of trekking, and definately riding elephants on a safari while we are here. Cant wait! Tomorrow we will rent cheap motorbikes and explore Chiang Mai, which is much smaller and chiller than the cities we have visited so far. Still having a blast in Asia. At this present moment i am in an internet cafe where geckos are running around the desk and it is slightly comforting and normal. Its strange how accustomed you get to things.

Miss you all and will have exciting posts coming in the next few days.
