This whole meal from the market cost me 15,000 kip. Thats like two dollars!

We spent two days on this thing!! Not so comfortable
I arrived in Bangkok on Monday and got all of my visa stuff for India sorted out. It was kind of a grueling journey though as I got on a bus in Laos at 1pm and then two buses later arrived in Bangkok at 5am the next morning. That same day I met up with Monique, a friend from work who decided last min to join my India trip. That same afternoon we got on a local train headed to the town of Ayutha(something like that). After we got our seats we waited for the train to take off. After a few moments we heard the engines, then the first part of of train started to sail away! Our car and the cars behind us were not connected right for some reason and we were left behind. Not long after that we were reattached but it was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Everyone's faces were so confused!
So beside that we are enjoying our last night here. Tomorrow we head back to Bangkok. I pick up my visa and we do some last min shopping before Jamie leaves on Sunday. I am really sad that she is leaving but also excited about the next part of my trip, India! It is nice that I will be traveling with someone for at least part of the time and we have talked with lots of other travelers about what we should expect when we get there. Other than that it is really nice to be back in Thailand. The people are so nice here and I feel more familiar with the people and culture than I have been these past few weeks in new countries.
Going for dinner in the market now...
yum...
