So get this, I landed in Hong Kong Tuesday (January 28,
2014) afternoon and went to the flower market that night with Hannah, Leah,
Mary, and Jordan. It was cute, but not my cup of tea. Everyone is buying
flowers for the New Year. I know Hong Kong might be doing some cool shit, but I
do Lunar New Year every year, so it’s not as special as the Anglo-Saxons. Haha.
I went to class on Wednesday like normal, and couple of us went out for Korean
BBQ. After the food in Korea, the Korean food here became extremely mediocre.
Oh well, now I learned, so after dinner, I got back to the dorms and packed my
bags for a flight at 2am to Thailand. That is right people, I just got off the
plane one and a half days ago, and I’m off again. Sami, Jordan, Kasia, and I
were going on a Thai adventure! The flight is 2 hours, and we don’t have a
place to stay the night, and we don’t want to travel at night. This is how shit
went down. We slept at the airport! After what seemed like a bad nights rest,
we took a train to the city center and a cab to our hostel in Khao San. We were
in heaven! The weather was fantastic, and the street looked relatively safe,
and we were ready to explore. I was kind of their guide cause I’ve been here
before, but obviously, I wasn’t very good because I got us lost. We did make it
to a temple of some sort, and in Thailand all temples are gorgeous! The world
was saved.
We got back later and checked into the hostel. We needed to
take a break and sleep. It’s time to turn up! We went out to dinner, and I got
a nice piece of chicken. We walked around KS just being tourist and drinking
our beers. Although the nap was good, we still needed to rest, so we called it
an early night.
The next morning (January 31, 2014), we went to the Grand
Palace and the Wat Pho. I’ve already seen these things, but it never ceases to
get boring. We had our new years dinner after got back from a day of touring
and a nap. It was so hot in Thailand that we just had to come back for naps… So
fucking exhausting. That night was special, we met up with Jaime and Will! The
two crazy Canadians from my trip in Melbourne! What is life? I get to meet
people from all around the world from everywhere around the world. We start out
with couple hellos and drinks and got to meet some of their friends they made
here. It was nice to see them and we just got drunk! But we had other plans in
mind. Jordan, Kasia, Sami, and I wanted to visit the strip clubs of Thailand.
It was rather disappointing because of my knowledge about their status of
working as a sex worker in Thailand is not something that is very voluntary. We
did some mediocre shopping and went back home! On our way back home, I see
Jaime and Will off on the tuk tuk… They got off, and we went for a dance! As
usual with these cats, it was a crazy night.
It was Saturday, and we were all really tired from the night
before. Oh well! We went to the Golden Mountain and small temple near there. It
was cute. Kind of a quiet day because of everyone anticipating the coming
election, so today no alcohol was being served… fuck… so a restful night it was
after a failed attempt at going to another redlight district in Bangkok.
Sunday (February 2, 2014), we were on a flight to Phuket to
meet up with the rest of our crew that just arrived. We had such a hard time
finding the house, but we did it.
To be continued!
