As a suggestion before moving abroad, several people mentioned I should write a blog to document my adventures. I've never claimed to be computer savvy or always gramitcally correct, but it can't be that hard right? So here goes my friends...welcome to my crazy life =)

Welcome to Bangkok. After a brief overview from the Hangover 2, I have been pleasantly surprised to find that Bangkok can actually be quite a lovely place. Yes, you have your seedy bars, flirty bar girls, and interesting ladyboys, but Bangkok is also a beautiful and colorful city with lots of smiling faces, 7-11’s, busy markets, cheap foot massages, and the best street food around! I could eat noodle soup with fried pork every night! A few minor mishaps, but I feel I’m adjusting quite nicely.

Monday, August 27


I felt pretty bad when I showed up to work this morning and the secretary forwarded an email from my parents. Apparently, the last thing I posted on facebook was my address, and then I went MIA for the weekend. Really, the free internet I was stealing stopped being available, but I can see where my parents would have been concerned. After assuring my mom I was not kidnapped or dead, I carried on with my work day. After work, I headed to the gym because today was my first experience with Netball. Some of the girls I work with told me about this sport and invited me to play on the team. I thought I’d be pretty good since I know how to play basketball. Turns out I was wrong. And not only did I suck at it, when I showed up, all the girls were wearing skin tight spandex outfits including a SKIRT! What is that all about? Who wears skirts for sports? I feel like I’m in the movie A League of their Own! Get with the times Australia.




Nevertheless, I tried on my outfit, and after the other girls assured me it was the right size (it’s supposed to be that tight.. it’s spandex), I paid my dues and went home for the evening shaking my head at the thought of wearing the outfit in public! Hey, maybe looking good while playing will make up for my lack of ability ;)
