Bangkok was so beautiful. We did all of the touristy stuff in one day so we could spend the last two days shopping, eating, and relaxing. And shopping we did. I've been to a lot of cities but I have to say Bangkok has probably the BEST shopping I have seen in a long time. The malls there put the Mall of America to shame. They are immense, and beautiful, and full of hidden gems. And they also have huge open air markets where you can find anything your heart desires. So if you are a shopaholic, like my cousin Michelle, Bangkok is seriously your shopping mecca.
samui
First, the island of Samui. It was beautiful. And relaxing. And the food was incredible. But Samui was a little too touristy for our liking. Still, we had an amazing time and we have the pictures to prove it.
The beach right outside our resort.
At the safari park. I would have paid lots of money to take this little guy home. They are so damn fluffy and cute. And how cool to say "yeah, i have a pet tiger!"
Um yeah. I didn't know whether to applaud of just fall off my chair with amazement. I can't even do that, and I weigh .0001% of what he does.
We got to ride this big guy which was both wobbly and exciting. Oh and the thai-dude who took the picture told me to wave, so please don't make fun of me for the nerdy tourist shot.
This bird's name was Natalie, so it was only fitting that I paid the 100 baht to take a picture with it.
And of course, my signature jumping shot. I need to get that "jumping across the world" mini-book started one of these days....
more later. for now, homework, gym, snack, jumping jacks, painting my nails, cnn, and season 2 of the office (on illegally burned dvds that i purchased in thailand). so sweet.
