To Thailand!!

 






   I haven't posted for a couple days as I had to make my way from Kyoto to Osaka in Japan, then take a red eye to Bangkok. It was a pretty tiring journey but I had a whole row to myself in the Thai AirAsia X flight quiet zone, so that was nice. I arrived in Bangkok around 1 am. The walk to my hotel was short. Not a lot of people out at that time, but it was still hot. It's actually their winter here, but all that means is it's less humid (thank God). 

  My hotel is nice and cozy. I didn't do much yesterday cause I got in so early and it was just nice to have my own room after staying in hostels in Japan. Breakfast is included and I definitely indulged (pictures below)! I also got some microwaveable meals from 7-11 that I didn't photograph: Thai basil chicken and a ham and cheese sandwich/croissant that is apparently famous. So far, the food is amazing!

   The plan today is to meet up with a friend and site see in the city center. My main goal is to visit The Emerald Buddha Temple. I just exchanged some dollars for baht, now I can buy all the street food I want :-)

                                Aug. 23, 2024 - Maui, HI                   Lately I have been asked by friends, family, and co-workers if I keep a journal or blog about my travels. You see, I recently started flying again and this time I work for one of the largest carriers in the world serving over 300 destinations. So, I decided it would be a good idea to keep records of my experiences and journey. Not necessarily for others to read, though I do love sharing, but more so for myself. I enjoy writing and taking pictures, so what better way to chronicle my odyssey!       In the past six months, I have traveled to: four Hawaiian islands multiple times; Paris and Chantilly, France; Amsterdam three times; London; Geneva, Switzerland; Shanghai; Juneau, Alaska; and many states within the continental U.S. My company offered a temporary leave...

Um Parque com Ginasio

  For my first full day in Sao Paulo, I mostly walked around and explored the area more without any real agenda. I went by the Pinocoteca (Brazilian art museum) and the surrounding Parque Jardim de Luz. I gotta say, the highlight of my day was finding an outdoor gym with equipment made out of stones and cement. I was pretty shocked when I saw it, but since I was in shorts and a tank top and hadn't worked out for a couple days, I got a nice little workout in! I will definitely be back tomorrow as well.   It smells SOOOOO good when walking around. I have yet to indulge in any real local foods, but I will tomorrow. I have some good recommendations from a couple of friends who have been here. Everything is very cheap here and the people are friendly.    There are quite a bit of homeless and I've been warned multiple times to be vigilant, not have my phone out constantly, etc. I knew coming here that it was a place to exercise much more caution than most places I've visit...
