Hello loved ones!
Well... per Shelley's request, I will comment on the smell of Bangkok... it's TERRIBLE! haha some places aren't so bad but others are absolutely terrible.
Had a pretty bad day yesterday... I was just very overwhelmed and have had a lot of anxiety. Bangkok is so big and so busy and so hot..... it's hard to take in. Last night was Sydney and Jamaina's last night here, so they, along with Shannon and Lisa went out partying, I decided to stay home and just relax. I had spent the whole day crying and having mini panic attacks... so i thought it would be best to just spend the night reading and listening to my music. I ended up going down to the internet cafe around 11pm and called home, I just needed to hear some friendly voices. The part that makes it so hard is that I am so far from my support network here and with these people I just met (Don't get me wrong, they're wonderful) but it makes it a little tough.
Today I actually have left the room and have ventured around Bangkok. It's so hot out today, but it's been a lot of fun. We met these random group of guys at breakfast today and they helped steer us in the right direction. We went to a travel place this afternoon after breakfast and booked a bus ticket to Cambodia. The girls' Thai visa expires tomorrow so they were going to go to the embassy to have it extended and then we were going to go to Chang Mai, but it's pretty flooded in that area, so instead we;ve decided to go to Cambodia. After Cambodia we will probably head to Laos and then will come back through Thailand and go to Chang Mai where we will visit the tiger kingdom and ride elephants!!!!! I am sooo excited to do that! And Cambodia will be awesome too :)
Love you and miss you all SO MUCH!
xoxo
