Arrivals and Spice!
Hours and hours have been spent at the Arrivals sector of Bangkok International Airport, Terminal 2 waiting to see a familiar face of one friend, then another, and finally a third. Lonnie, Davin, and Kaity have all joined in this incredible adventure Thailand is. Whether travelling all together, in pairs, or going solo ("kon diew" in Thai), it's good to have friends who grew up in the same culture as yourself; speaking the same language, eating the same food, laughing at the same jokes.
They've been here about two weeks now and, from what I can tell, love the culture, the food, the awesome bungalows on the riverside for so cheap... This place'll suck you in. I never knew airlines made so much money in ticket changes. They must love to book a ticket for Thailand because nobody ever wants to leave. Well, I guess some people do, but they must not be that cool.
Anyway, we went trekking which was a crazy adventure to say the least, I'll have more on that later... Current plans are always under discussion, and fun is always had. Songkran is the next event to look forward to. The carefree splashing of water on complete strangers in the middle of summer is something that may not sound like much, but I have a feeling it's going to be unforgettably life changing and spine-tingling...and not just because of the cold water!
I think a lot about all the great friends I have all over the world and I hope you're doing well! Don't forget to fill your life with the best experiences possible, grand and spectacular, even if you feel they are just ordinary...nothing is ordinary with a bit of spice! Hugs to all.
