we checked out of i-residence today and moved to talisa’s apartment on ekkamai rd. it was very simple and straightforward getting there. hopped on the bts to ekkamai, then took a cab to her soi (street). the apartment is very cozy. a bit messy maybe, but cozy. they have another couchsurfer from france staying there so there’s 5 of us. we had lunch at this internet cafe across the street and the green curry there was delicious. 65 baht (less than $2). then i went back to talisa’s apartment to freshen up and take a nap due to my fucking neck pain, and vie went back to the net cafe to do some blogging. woke up around 8 or 9pm i think and ended up chatting with talisa about life when she was supposed to be working (yeah bad me!) and then vie and jaesin called cuz they were hungry. so we went down and fetched them and walked to this nice seafood restaurant on ekkamai rd. talisa’s brister came along after a few minutes and we had a great time eating some weird but yummy thai food.

bangkok
landed in bangkok today and i was impressed by the airport. feels very industrial. we took a cab to our hotel, i-residence just across the chong nonsi bts station. for $29 a night the hotel is pretty amazing. the room is small but it’s super cozy and homey with a nice bathroom with hot shower, complete toiletries and even a hair dryer (so we can dry our clothes lol). and they have fast internet via an rj45 jack on the wall. what’s most awesome is that 711 is just right there in front of the hotel and the bts station is right across the street. it connects you to the entire city of bangkok, cheap. their rooftop pool is also nice, overlooking the bts station, infinity style. real value for the money.
after a few hours of nap we hit the bts (skytrain) to the siam paragon mall. yeah i hate malls but it wasn’t so excruciating considering it was my first time there and it was priceless to see the expression on vie’s face. i think i love this girl a little much that i can bear shopping malls. hehehh..
i’m most impressed by the bts lines. they also have an mrt line which we haven’t tried yet but overall the city’s infrastructure is probably 100 years ahead of bali. you can get anywhere, anytime until midnight, fast, cheap and safe. and where the bts and mrt don’t take you, there’s always the taxis and the tuk-tuks and the busses.
1hr onboard airasia on the way to bangkok. i suspect one of the flight attendants is a ladyboy. cute one too. just had a hotdog and an ovaltine and vie had a sandwich with water. my neck hurts from pulling my muscle when i showered 2 days ago. listening to my ipod now. out.
