From MTL to BKK

Well, well. After about a trillion emails, a handful of very expensive long distance phone calls, and mooonntthsss of missing her dearly we finally reunited with ARIE! Really, it feels like we have been seeing her all this time and that it hasnt been almost a year and a half since we last said goodbye at Korova all those months ago.


We all met on Khoa San Road where the group of us (Steph and I, the Koh Tao /Canadian-Sweedish pair, Arie, her boyfriend Alex and their friend) found a bar along the street and got ourselves caught up. Maybe it was the three of us being together again but it really felt a lot like St.Laurent and oh say the Vol patio. Actually I kinda feel like Khoa San Road is almost exactly like St.Laurent except dirtier, with pushy people trying to sell you things, drinks that come in bucket form rather than two-for-one, and with an earlier closing time (who woulda known khoa san shuts down so early?).


After a good few hours we headed out to finish off our previous nights plans. The tuk tuk ride to our next location of course turned into a tuk tuk race with lots of picture taking of one another and escalating rude gestures.


The next day the 7 of us took off to Chang Mai and 12 hours on a bus later we have arrived. Tomorrow we leave for our 3 day trek through the Northern Thailand jungle! So excited! Unfortunatly this means we won't be able to contact anyone much for a few days but we promise lots of pics to come after the trek. ANd if everything goes as planned, they should be the best pictures as of yet!


Miss you all!

P.S. Chang Mai is cold!
