t minus 11 hours

in a few short hours, my flight takes off for bangkok, and if history has taught me anything, it's going to be a long night of packing and wrapping up all the crap i should've attended to hours, or even days (and weeks) ago. i've done very little research on bangkok itself, but thankfully i've got more than 25 hours of plane/airport time in which to get cozy with my guide books before i actually set foot in the city. 25 hours? crap, i'll practically be a local by the time my plane lands.

so far, my only preparations for spending 6 weeks in se asia have been eating asian food and getting sick. i definitely prefer the former. i also watched this video. though it is both entertaining and informative, i have a feeling things may have changed a bit there since 1984. now, if i could just find something on youtube that'll teach me how to avoid ladyboys. my guide books don't cover that most sensitive of subjects.

I can't believe I just watched that entire video and there wasn't one freaking Asian person in it. Or someone that could actually sing, for that matter. But oh, how I do love that song (meeemories!).

God, I'm old.

I already miss you. I'm such a tool!
