when in Rome....

Hey everyone....we are not in Rome but we are in bangkok and people are often drunk and stumbling around after 4pm in the Khao san road area so we decided to join them! We were determined to get our drunk on and get a little messy (especially Will) but then we had a little indian food and then I had a $4 pedicure where Will and I discussed men who get pedicures and he really can not be swayed that all men who get them are just trying to get laid, but then almost every man I know who gets them is married and has a pretty steady supply of sex in their life, so go figure. Nonetheless, we lost our buzz. Honestly one beer makes me feel pretty giddy and Will gets super funny withthe addition of alcohol and we had the idea that we woudl come to the internet place a little trashed...can you be a little bit trashed....anyway, I found myself being sucked into a 19 year old vortex that in the end never panned out.

What we did do today was attend cooking school. We learned how to cook thai vegetarian food (NO fish sauce!) and had a great time doing it! I also made another trip to the tailor for another fitting of of my suit and ended up ordering another four pairs of pants! They will have them done tomorrow but I will not pick them up until mid march when we are on our way out. We are quickly shedding objects and items that we do not need as we long to travel even lighter. We will be sitting in our guest house asking each other....do I need this long sleeved shirt if I have this hoody? And do I need four pairs of socks....isn't three enough? We are trying to live our lives in the most simple of terms now that work is over for me and we are now headed into uncertain territory. We have decided that Vietnam and Cambodia are the two most important places for us to visit and if we have enough time we will head into Laos. But before I talk about the future plans of our trip I shoudl try to give you more updates on Burma.

see you in the next blog
