Ah Bangkok


For the rest of our Songkran break, Leah and I traveled with the other SMs to their hometown: Bangkok!  It was so much fun.  Getting there was a pain in the butt, but what long traveling isn't.  The van was going a million miles an hour, everyone was scared for their lives, but we made good time.  Isn't that all that matters? Yeah, maybe not, when your life is in danger!!
 
Leah and I spent a whole day Wednesday enjoying the city of Bangkok once again.  It was a blast.  We slept in, ate a beautiful breakfast at Au Bon Pain, which is the original Panera, so I hear... that bagel was the best I've ever had. Yum!  

Next, we explored more of the shopping malls, and watched a movie, "Monsters Vs. Aliens" to be specific.  It was very funny and it was great relaxing and laughing with my friends.  It was a kids movie, but we still enjoyed it.  I really connected with the blue blob guy, he was quite the character, and I really loved his blind obsession-love for his green jello.  What a hoot!  

Anyways, after the movie, we decided we needed more food.  We walked a few blocks, checked out a bookstore for a few minutes, and then neared our feast.  Greek food!!  Yep, it exists in Bangkok.  We ordered so much food, so much salad, humus, and bread.  We were very full and content after that meal.  

All in all I really enjoyed spending time with my friends.  It makes me really sad that it will have been the last time I have seen Stephanie in Thailand before she leaves.  But, I know I'll see her again, and Ashley this summer.  I can't wait!
