Fighting the Jet Lag
So, I made it safely to Bangkok and to my great pleasure I also have wireless internet in my room. This is also problematic as I love the internet and really should not have it at my disposal because that would mean I’ll likely spend way too much time online.After the lovely 17 hour plane ride, I keep having to remind myself that it is Sunday, that indeed I lost a day somewhere over the Pacific. Other than that the trip was fine, no lost baggage, a simple trip from the airport to Rompo Mansion and here I am. I do have to say, if one were to live on a commercial airplane ride, one would get very well fed. (Not well as in good food, well as in being fed every 4 hours). I found it quite odd eating “lunch” at 5AM local time when it’s dark out and people are rubbing the sleep from their eyes.
Landing in Bangkok, my fear, the humidity undoubtedly set in. 6AM walking out of the plane and it was already muggy, not that bad, but you could tell it would only get worse. I don’t think I’ve seen the sun today, sadly, as thunder clouds blanket the city. My room, without the AC on also has an odd musty smell (I’m hoping I’ll get used to it) … ah tropical areas.

hi mai-lan...it's mrs. crane finally responding to your e-mail. i'm dating myself by saying "i've never 'blogged' before!" this is so amazing that you're travelling the world. southeast asia is quite the emerging region in many ways. an exciting time to be there. just keep an eye on the tectonic activity, okay.
