How Did We Get Here?

A new flight, a new morning, a new country.

A new language, new customs, new uncertainties.

Different food (again), different money (again), am I paying too much for this?

Thailand was never on the top of my lists of places to go. In fact I had little desire to visit SE Asia in general. But at 3:30am this morning I stepped off an airplane and into 80 degree heat. So how did I get here? The easy answer is that I got drunk with my friends in Kampala the day before we were going to buy our tickets home.

"Give me one good reason not to go to Thailand," they said.

"Um... well, I guess I'm going to Thailand."

And so again I transition from a previous culture that I am just getting used to. Turkey and Georgia were so different than Africa, and much colder. Let's see what Thailand is all about.
