More than One Night in Bangkok

After a very short week, we're back in Taiwan. Thailand was an amazing country and I could have traveled around there for a year but after only 7 days, I'm glad I got to go at all! This specific trip made me realize a few things though:

1) I am a beach person. Before this trip I was unsure that I even liked water and/or sand. I was fairly confident that I wouldn't be able to lay in one place for more than 20 minutes. I was generally pretty terrified by the ocean because of movies like "Jaws" and the "Perfect Storm." And then we laid on the beach in Pattaya for six hours straight our first day there and it was awesome! I now know that I love the beach. I love the sounds, the smells, the general lack of anything to do or worry about. I love beaches! (What a great discovery to make!)

2) All large Asian cities are the same. Although I loved Bangkok and it was super fun to spend a few days in, there was nothing terribly unique about it compared to other large cities in Asia. For example, we had really great Lebanese food one night, not exactly something you need to fly to Bangkok to get.

3) I never want to travel anywhere at all close to the equator during the summer months. Thailand was hot enough in February.

It's late for me now and I hear my own bed calling my name as I type this, but I will post pictures soon!
