Today is my last day in Thailand and it went as any 'last day' would go. It was a little bonkers/a littler over the top. After breakfast I managed to eat a plate of fruit the size of my head- in one sitting. Anyone that knows me, well they know I have a big head, literally, physically big. I doesn't look big until I put a hat on medium size hat on and realize I have a 'large' size head... Okay.. Anyways, I digress. Lots of fruit. It was amazing until I felt a little whoozy from eating tooo much fruit, which I didn't even think was possible! So my intake of fruit was a little over the top.
Moving on... I bought some really great dresses yesterday!!! They are quite possibly my favorite thing ever, I could (and basically do) live in them! So yesterday, I bought mmm these dresses in maybe 2 different styles in about 5 different colors (I use maybe and about because it's all a little blurry after todays events). After sleeping on decisions of how many more dresses to buy, styles and colors, I decided to visit my Thai friend Kuhn Lisa (Kuhn means Mr. or Mrs./Ms./Miss in Thai) and pick up "a few more". Well that few, turned into A LOT, I had such a field day hand picking every color and style dress Kuhn Lisa was nearly finished reading her entire Harper's Bazaar and my friend Kuhn Bundit who drove me there had fallen asleep. It was a lot of fun, and I'm so so so very excited about them! Get ready for some really great colors of cute & comfy dresses in flattering styles!
After that I made a trip to Khao San rd, which in Bangkok is the ever famous notorious backpacker strip. They've cleaned it up quite a bit! It's a great place to people watch. I love to check out the different styles of people from all over the world with one definite common interest- travel! It's also a great place to get fun sunglasses! My hunger took over while looking at what crazy color wayfarers I would buy, so I bought some Pad Thai (instead)! I always seem to get a little frazzled my last day in Thailand. Whether it's the fruit because there's a plethora of delicious fruit, or the dresses because they are so pretty and I LOVE THEM, or the spice because no place is as spicey as Thailand, I go overboard. It's as if this is LAST time EVER I'm going to be able to enjoy it. So what did I do, I put so much crushed red pepper (a staple spice for Pad Thai) you couldn't even see the Pad Thai. Sooo much red pepper, I had to drink two bottles of water and my lips were still tingling an hour later! Today was a little bonkers, but I enjoyed everything about it! I guess Thailand kind of rubs off on you like that! My Thai roomie used to always remind me "Why not, you're in Bangkok!?" and I guess that was my unintended mantra for today. "Why only buy 27 dresses (though it was a cute movie)? Why not buy a million, you're in Bangkok! and frankly I've never been able to find them anywhere else!"I wish I had pictures of the dresses, I will soon! However, today just moved to fast much like the traffic, which I do have pictures of... (update... I lack the proper equipment to upload photos apparently. I'll try again from another internet cafe!)
T-minus 12 hours till Indonesia! (Update, I'm currently in Indonesia. Jakarta (Java) to be exact and I'm editing this just before I take off to check out some really beautiful Indonesian jewelry, art, and crafts!
Hope all is well back home! I send my love from Java!
