Speedo

I don't think I'll ever understand Europeans and their Speedo's. Don't they know that's just not cool?!?!?!

Still in Ko Samui, Thailand today. It's currently 11:30AM, have a flight at 2:40PM this afternoon to Penang, Malaysia. Tivo is at the spa, going to pick her up at 12:30PM. Hope that everyone is doing well. Miss you all!

MBK

At the MBK center right now in Bangkok. Just had lunch, it was quite good! ok, only got 9 more minutes of internet usage. Got to go!

In Seoul....

It's currently 6:37PM here in Seoul, and we've made it. Both Tricia and Trang are tired, it's approximately 2:38AM back home in Seattle. I just had a bowl of spicy seafood ramen for $6900 won and it was so good. we're waiting until 8:30PM to board our flight into Bangkok, we should land there a little after midnight.

the first shock of the trip was seeing a guy poop without the door closed at the airport, I mean come on dude, no one wants to see you sitting on the toilet dropping bombs! :)
