Bangkok has been fun so far. I was extremely lucky to be put in touch with the most lovely hosts ever who have shown me a great time. For just one night I'm staying at The Yard Hostel because I heard such good things, and it has not disappointed. I've had 2 Thai massages for extremely low prices, been to one of the famous giant shopping malls, been to an amulet market, drank bubble tea, Thai tea, eaten street food, chatted with a few locals... It's been a good run!
There's a woman at this hostel who fell off a pagoda and broke her foot/ hit her face... She fell off because suddenly a cobra snake came out of nowhere and she didn't really have a lot of room to get out of the way. Now she has to have surgery on her foot. Puts things into perspective... Glad it's not me. Yikes. Happy to be healthy and just hanging out relaxing.
Speaking of which. I'll tell you a dirty little secret: I haven't gone to any pagodas. And if you ask why I can say... Because I'm afraid of poisonous snakes!! But it's not really that. I just haven't gone. :P
