Report From the Field 1
I just arrived into Bangkok last night with my pretty travel mates. Had been in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the past couple of days. Unfortunately, could not find an internet cafe anywhere in that town! Below is a brief discription of the two cities so far.
Malaysia:
Kuala Lumpur -
Hot, humid, green, diverse, easy to spend a lot of money, Bahasa is hard to learn, great food - satay, dim sum, dosas. Friendly, English widely used, heavy Islamic influence, small city, big towers, crowded Chinatown, spanking new malls, lovely atmosphere, sweaty, comfortable nights, good drinks.
Thailand:
Bangkok -
HEAPS of tourists, more humid than KL, crowded, interesting food, good beer, good looking people (locals & foreigners - something KL was missing out on!), and like I said before, heaps and heaps and heaps of foreigners!

just make sure you dont end up in one of those ladybars!
btw: schni-schna-schnappi, schnappi, schnappi, schnapp!
Please tell me you had Beef Rendang in KL.
Eat food off the street as often as you can in Bangkok, it's the best.
Beef Rendang?? Yuck... chicken satay is the way to go!!
Pad tai off the street venders with lemon juice, hot peppers, and sugar is the best!
As usual painting you've been painiting the town a shade of Shiela! :) Atleast you're having fun doing touristy things! Keep the updates flowing! And like Delfy said - why no mention of the lady bars?!?! :P
Cheers!!
Hey Sheila!!
Too bad I didn't realize you were in Thailand!! I'm doing a traineeship in Phang Nga province this summer and would have loved to meet up. What's your travel schedule like? Let me know if you'll be in Thailand again and maybe we'll meet up.

PS - How the hell did you not find an internet cafe in Bangkok?!? ;)
