The End of an Era

I have officially transitioned from Korea to Thailand. After a frustrating and long plane ride I finally touched down in Thailand irritated and paranoid. Irritated by all of the Koreans that accompanied me on the plane, and paranoid from all of the shady scam jobs that I had read happened in Thailand. Also, I didn't have a VISA and wasn't sure whether or not it was required for entrance in to Thailand. After I touched down and waltzed through Immigration and customs in half the time it takes in the states I began to understand the Samai Samai (probably totally spelled wrong) attitude that is popular here in Thailand. Dan picked me up at the airport and has been giving me the lowdown ever since I got in 6 hours ago. Samai Samai is basically the same as chill or take it easy. It is the mindset here and I love it. I have another short vacation before I begin teaching again! In the next 10 days I will attempt to get situated here. I already exchanged my Korean Won to Bhat (so depressing) and got a cell phone. Life is about to get phenomenal. I ate an awesome plate of basil chicken on rice for one dollar. I have a feeling I will be doing that a lot.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

lemHey Neph, happy to hear that you've made it to your next stop! I've heard from a lot of people that Bangkok is 'teeming' with people. Hope you settle in there okay. I'm seriously interested in some Thai silk. Will write you later about that though. We are all going to watch Eilee in her 'Music Man' debut this afternoon. then dinner with your dad (I think!). It's nice to see Meredith, I'm sure your mom loved having you home for a bit, too!! Take care of yourself, it'll be fun to hear of all your new adventures. Love you loads, Auntie G
