Z&R in Bangkok

Hey all. So we flew Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok today. I was a bit tired yesterday. KL is very dirty. Busy. Crazy. Ryan especially was hounded by every street vendor (I think cuz he's cute, American, and a guy maybe...maybe cuz he was with me and thought he'd buy me something...I don't know but got really old really fast). Honestly, I was glad to leave KL. Bangkok so far (we've only been here 3 hours) is amazing. Lot more white people so we are not singled out by the street vendors. We are on Khao San Road (THE backpackers alley in Bangkok). Got a pretty nice hotel room here. Nice corner room so we get a bit of a breeze. In all the hotels we've stayed at so far, the electrical outlets (air conditioning, lights, outlets etc) only work when we are there and put the key in a little box. Kind of cool for energy conservation (though I think the idea is conserving money for the hotels not energy but whatever) but not cool since the air conditioning only works when we are there.In our three hours here, we took an express bus, checked in to about the 10t hotel we saw and then proceeded out into Khao San Road. Looked at a couple shops and had a few beers. Nice night life, I think, it is still quite early.Ryan got to fly his helicopter yesterday. Already broke a tiny piece but fixed it with a twist tie. No bailing twine available had to make do.Ryan got a great haircut today (in KL) for $3. One of the best ever he said. Got a nice little massage after too. I read an Indian version of People magazine while I waited. Didn't understand much but the pictures were interesting.Things here are unbelievably cheap. It's tough when things are in the 100's of Bahts but after doing the conversion it's actually only $3 or so. Ryan lost a thumb war battle with a super cute 9 year old Thai girl selling roses. He ended up owing her 100 Baht and I got 5 roses. Ry's so sweet. By the way, he did know what he was getting in to but she was so damn cute :-)I think that is all for now. Little bit cooler here.Take care,Z&R
