So much has happened in the last couple of days - I am seriously loving Bangkok. The whole red shirt thing is a bit disruptive but they're not violent. They are however based one block away from our hostel, so its quite loud here.
Yesterday we went to the zoo and Matt and I held a 3 metre long Burmese Python! It was amazing, but still shaking as I held it. Will post pictures as soon as I get the opportunity to.
Meet our tour group today and head for Cambodia tomorrow. We've decided that we'd set group challenges for us in each country. I got Thailand, so I decided we would buy gifts for each other that we have to wear when we meet our tour group tonight. Laura and I bought for Matt and Keryn and vice versa. Should be interesting - hopefully first impressions won't last. Again, will post pics when I can.
Food is cheap here - can pick up a bag of pineapple at a street vendor for nzd $0.50. Very busy here and always something to do. Got stopped in our tuktuk last night by protesters and made to walk to our hostel. Apparently they've taken Parliament now - I can't check the news however as the websites have been blocked here. Having to rely on locals for info.
Will write again soon.
