So cried a little when marni left the other day. I feel a little lonely.
It makes me miss everyone a lot ALOT more. But this experience will
be so good for me. I just have to get over this hump of lonelyness. I haven't
been on the computer more this entire trip in these last couple days. I wish
I could see everyong back at home.
The Intrepid Group--who I will be with when traveling to Laos, Cambodia and
Vietnam are nice! There are three Canadians including myself (woo!), two sisters
from England --who just left India, and a couple from Ireland who were traveling
in Australia and New Zealand. Everyone is very nice and easy to hang out with.
I am.. of course.. the youngest of the group. When i was walking down th street with
my room mate, Claire from Toronto, We were making small talk with a Thai guy
and mistook her as my mother! ahh! Horrifying for both of us.
We spent the night walking down Khap Khan Road ( I think thats what its called?)
and its party central. There were drunks everywhere. Unfortunately i didnt get the
chance to take a picture of this one open bar that had a huge sign: 45 baht for beer...
WE DONT CHECK ID!!! You look and see all these toppling over underaged kids.
It was rediculous. There were poeple that were giving people hair raps, dreads and
braides... and there were clothes and shops everywhere. I would have crapped myself
if i was along.. it was definitly a dangerous street. The Taxi drivers would yell PING PONG?
meaning they would take us to all the stripping clubs in town. Very funny.
We took an overnight train to Chiang Mai and we are crossing to border to Laos tomorw.
I am taking the day off to relax , read and write. Its a cloudy day.. but PERFECT for me.
The heat is just right... and no chance of burning!

Beaches!
Wow.. The beaches were definitly worth the almost 20 hour travel there. I may be exaggerating a little. it was probably like 15 hours. But it was definitly brutal. The bus wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. There was air conditioning and free snacks. When we arrived, we were so overwhelmed.
The resort was huge. It was about 120 dollars canadian a night.. but we luckily had a cheaper rate. There were lots of families so when mar and I arrived we felt a little out of place. It was such a change from sleeping in a village hut or fan room. The water was crystal clear and the breeze was just right. Marni was determined to get a tan. I was just excited to jump in the pool. i
wsas so hot from the travel. We bought a few drinks that night that costed about 4 dollars canadian.. about what you would pay in canada. This shocked us. But because we were at a resort everything was double.. if not more. The breakfast was fantasticly huge though! There was everything from omelettes, pancakes, toast to lasagna, stir fry, chicken wings... (ya.. for breakfast.. very odd). Thai people just eat and breath rice and noodles. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. noodles and rice. But they somehow taste different everywhere we go. Not one restaurant has dissapointed us.
We took a speed boat over to a small island with a population of 500.. called Ko Mak. The hotel owner was the biggest sweetheart. For 100 baht, (3 dollars) we were able to rent a motor bike scooter thing. It was so much fun. We were scared at first as it began to rain but it was warm and we were restless of lying down and suntanning. We squeeled like little girls--the people giggling at us.
The next day we relaxed in the morning and took a boat back to Ko Chang to our rich resort where the fat and rich lay. All the people on the beach were wearing way too skimpy of bathing suites. One lady had a little tube bikini and had her huge belly hanging over. You could barely see her bottoms because her belly hid it.
We enjoyed the relaxing day and then woke up early the nect day to catch the fairy.
I seem to get a lot of attention to my red hair.. i mean i expected it but... on the fairy, Mar and i felt like celebrities. The woman infront of us brought her children over to take a picture with us... each child at a time, then the mom.. and all these other ladies and children came to us taking pictures with them. They kept pointing and staring. I hid myself with sunglasses haha! One lady said you bootafool! Maybe they thought we were drew berrymore and angelina jolie? that would be nice!
Mar and i finally arrived in Bangkok after a long long bus ride and we went to the night market.
Bangkok is a totally different world in the dark. There were stripper bars all the way dwon the streets. and there were men with brochures trying to pull mar and i in.. it was rediculous.
Well i must go. I have arrived at my new hotel... and have said goodbye to marni and a new chapter

Chiang Mai
We took a sleeper train to Chiang Mai. It wasnt exactly what we had expected. They were just a bunk bed with curtains. We managed okay.. as it was just for a sleep. We made the mistake in the morning however to have their breakfast. It was cold and old.. made probably early the day before. Its okay though, both mar and i aren't whiners and we ate it with no fuss. When we arrived, the train station was full of bussling people. There was about 30 people yelling at us, "Tuk tuk? Taxi? Come Come!".. we were so groggy and overwhelmed. A lady with a grin stretching from one ear to the other, squinty eyes and pushy laugh, grabbed us and asked where we are going. She told us that she will take us to the hotel.. we didnt bother fighting.
When we arrived at the hotel, we collapsed on the hotel room beds. Mar and i went outside to the very nice pool and suntanned beside the pool. We drank extremely strong Pina Coladas... there was more rum than coconut and we definitly couldnt finish them, especially in the heat. Our heads throbbed after the drink and we had to drink lots of water.
We went out that night to the Night Bazaar and it was amazing. Streets and Streets of Market.. a shoppers paradise. Marni and I bought a few things: gifts and sandals for me (as my other pair broke) and we ended up getting supper at...ehem subway haha. We decided to be terrible tourists and not eat thai that night.
We woke up on the Saturday and was driven an hour outside of Chiang Mai. We arrived at a village and the children swarmed the car. There must of been 10 to 15 children around each of us yelling, "10 baht hello hello! 10 baht, please".. It was heart breaking when you looked into their droopy sad eyes looking up at us. You couldnt help but buy at least one bracelette.
We trekked for three hours in the beautiful hills with farm land and bamboo forests.
Our tour guide would point at chicken and say, "Kentucky Fried Chicken" haha. The villagers were so resourceful. It felt like we went back into time about a hundred years. We barely had enough time to sit and rest at the village we were to sleep at when the children grabbed us to go swimming at a small water hole.
They made us tree crowns and these other crafty things using only twigs flowers and leaves. We watched them play in the water hole since we forgot our bathing suites (and would be inappropriate anyways) and we washed our dirty feet from our trek.
That night our tour guide spent hours showing us magic tricks and watched the vollagers dance around the fire.
We thought we were going to fall asleep quickly, but we didnt. Mar and I were very restless on the bamboo beds. ALl we heard that night were the roosters crowing. I think we have grown a new hatred towards roosters.
We woke up to hear the woman sitting outside of our sleeping hut... waiting for us to come out and buy their jewelery and woven scarves and blankets.
Mar and i again felt a guilt to buy items as they sat there.. even when we were eating breakfast.
Marni was worse.. she is really bad with having some restraint. Thinking she needed to buy from all of them haha.
We treked for about another half an hour and got to ride an elephant. The ride was slow but soothing as it rocked back and forth. They are amazing creatures.
We took a bamboo raft down the river and felt totally with nature. We were so at ease and heard nothing but the soft breeze and birds in the trees. The dynamic changed once we got lodged into a rock. Marni ended up jumping out to help but tripped and fell! haha
We had a lazy day that night and even ordered Room service so we didnt need to leave our room. The only english channel is "Zone Reality" which is like a TLC. For four hours straight we watched stories of animals saving humans. We started to get extremely annoyed by the same stupid cats saving people in fires. haha. But it was nice to relax none the less.
We are to jump on asleeper train once again to Bangkok. We arent looking forward to the train food.. ugh.
good bye for now!

Ayuthaya
So Mar and I dont seem to be able to sleep in after 7 am. It could be the heat... we just seem to be waking when the sun rises and begin to feel sleepy once the sun goes down. THere was a beautiful sunset last night that lit the whole sky red.
We were able to relax the whole morning until 1:30..So we sunbathed and swam in the pool all morning. Marni got a nice tan---on one side of her body (one half is white one brown haha) and i lathered myself with suntan lotion! I am very proud of myself as i havent burned once in this strong heat!We had a boat pick us up as the hotel was on an island and we had a two hour bus (absolutely brutal) ride to Ayuthaya. oh my gosh.. That is when the heat really hit me. My head was throbbing and i was super quizzy. It was a very cramped bus with an almost broken air conditioner. It was atleast 40 degrees yesterday so we were glued to our seats with sweat by the end of two hours. I had a thudding headache and was just glad we had nothing planned the rest of the day but arrive at the hotel. Luckily our hotel had air conditioning! it was such a luxery to have that after being in hotels with no air breeze or had only a fan.
We had a free tuk tuk ride through the town and were able to see the ruins (ancient cities that built amazing temples and buddhas but was destroyed in the early 1600's). As we watched the sun set we walked amungst the crumbled city... It was all SO beautiful. The loved the roots winding out of the ground from the huge trees.
We watched elephants walk by thestreets of Ayuthaya in vibrant colors mostly orange and yello: the monarchs favourite colour and thier religous color, the color of the monks.
We have seen a few monks walking through town or in the ruins and everytime we follow them acting like excited tourists. We will soon gain enough guts to ask to take a picture with them!
Well we have the entire day to explore Ayuthaya today and have a sleeper train (12 hours) to Chiang Mai.

Erawan Waterfalls
We awoke from our very hot and sticky night in the cabin, which had no fan/electericity, and said goodbye after breakfast. We took a drive to the Erawan Waterfalls. Mar and I were so excited when first arriving. We thought it would be a nice relaxcing swim with the waterfalls... we were wrong! it was a hike up 7 waterfalls in 38 degree weather with crazy thick humidity. I ended up loosing marni at the third waterfall and we didnt find eachother for an hour.. By the 6th waterfall, we had found eachother dripping with sweat, faces red, and huge headaches. We jumped in the crystal clear water. Everywhere around us were huge fish--grazing against our legs and little fish nibbling at our toes haha. It was a blast! We squeeled at first...The locals even made fun of me as I got in the water with a loud screach and they tried to imitate it!
We took a long tail boat to our next hotel and laid low the rest of the day! It was one exhausting day...The Hotel is beautiful. We have little bungalows with fans.

Wow.. I have no idea to even begin my three days.
We left bangkok on a shuttle bus and drove to the Salt fields.
In Thailand, They seperate the ocean watter in these 'patties'
and let the water evaporate and what is left is salt.
Mar lost her balance and ended up getting one of her foot stuck in the thick clay like mud. haha
I laughed so hard. It took about 15 minutes for it to come off.
We went to the floating market and it was absolutley amazing. This is their ancient tradition of selling goods on the river with long tail boats. The colors are overwhelming. We bought some mango and the flavour is fantastic! We were able to rent a boat and float right along the markets.
We drove for another hour till we arrived at our hotel for the night-- a floating cabin!
The Hotel is owned by island monks and a few locals. The rooms are right on the River Kwai away from the city noise. It was so hot that day--- mar and i were dripping sweat. We took a trek up to the monk village on the island and baught a few CHEAP items. for 30 baht, we got a huge pack of monk cigs. There were two elephants roaming the village and we were able to feed them and pet them. That was absolutely incredible.. just walking amungst elephants.
We did not hesitate to jump in the river as soon as we got back. Once we were in, we couldnt get enough of it. We must have stayed in the river for a couple hours before supper was ready. After supper, we were presented a dance celebrating and watched the locals dance in vibrant costumes. This is by far mar and i's favourite adventure!

Day two in Bangkok
Mar and I are surprised that we woke so early today.
The Jet lag doesn't seem to be affecting us at all! which
is good. We went to bed at 2 am last night and both naturally
woke up at 8am. We had barely gotten sleep the night before
on the 14 hour flight so it was very odd.
The breakfast was amazing. the food here could possibly make
me gain 25 pounds haha.
Its very healthy food though, noodles fruit and veggies.
We went to the market today. Marni got a few items. A cool scarf
shirt and jewelery. The market was huge, I dont think we were
even able to get through half of it.
We saw a man in the middle of one of the market streets (where there
was a gutter) and he was face down on the ground with tattered
clothes. When i first glanced I thought he had fallen but
then we saw he had no legs and he was slowly draggin himself on the
filthy floor. Mar and I took a second to keep walking. It caught us off gaurd.
We actually stopped. It broke our hearts.
Well on a happier note, we just got out of messages and we are goin
to bed!

I have ARRIVED!
Wahoo!
I have finally arrived. I can't believe how long the flights have been. I was so restless by the end. But the main thing is that i made it. Im in the future by 11 hours.
There is so much to tell in the short two day i have left Calgary.
I had a 14 hour flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong and i just popped p[ills like crazy --gravol mostly.
When Marni and I arrived in Hong Kong, It was our first cultural shock. More so the poeple than anything else. Their fashion style is of course a lot more developed than ours and so it took a minute to understand some of the clothing. The Chinese seem to be very into the "baby-ish" stuff... such as Hello Kitty..Lilo and Stitch --its interesting.
There was such a difference between Thai Airways and Air Canada. The Stuarts' and Stuartess' were so miserable and flustered on Air Canada. The food wasn't too good and the turbelence was extremely scary.. at one point we had to hold our drinks up as they were spilling every where!
Thai Airways had great food and the Stuartesses were so friendly!
I met a wonderful woman on the flight sitting next to me and she was so helpful. I was so tired from the previouse 14 hour flight, so i was asleep for the majority of the flight. She had saved me a cloth and a dinner trey. She was from Bangkok but spoke very good english.
When we arrived in Thailand, I couldn't believe the heat! its 38 degrees here... unbelievable.
The guy that picked us up from the airport didnt speak any english and drove with no signals or shoulder checking i was gripping the edge of my seat.. as we didnt even had seat belts! haha.
The Hotel is very cute. and it costed 100 baht (2 dollars) to be on here an hour.
Well its 1:30 am here.. and because of jet lag i am wide awake. I will say goodbye for now and hopefully i can get some sleep!:)

Four Days Left
Wow.. It almost seems surreal. I have been planning this trip
since June and it's finally happening. I honestly can't believe
I am leaving in four whole days.
I don't feel as ready as I probably should with my visa mishap.
I misunderstood back in September when i was looking into
a Thai Visa--Thinking i would be given the 30 days and be able
to sort out an extension when I get there. But I was wrong,
I must now get my mother to Fly all the way to Vancouver (The
closest Thai Embassy) to get an extension Visa. Ahh!
I said goodbye to Wes yesterday and it was one of the hardest things
I have ever had to do. I know its only four months, and there are
so many other people out there that don't see their boyfriend or girlfriend
in years, but I don't think i have ever cried that hard in my life. Going
from a relationship of seeing each other at least every second day to
a four month gap, is tough. It was a lot harder than i thought it was
going to be. But this is only the second day and I am sure I will get
used to the fact that Wes isn't always there.
Well I guess i should start thinking about packing. That would
probably be the next best thing to do right about now. I don't even
know how to begin to pack. I have to keep in mind to pack as light
as possible.
This i guess concludes my first blog entry!
