WOW... my trip to Thailand was absolutely amazing! I can't believe how luck i am to have gone there at 20... Bangkok was a great, busy city with tons and tons of travelers from all over the world (some of who hadn't showered in weeks i think). haha I traveled with 3 boys from school here, one of whom goes to USC... They planned the whole thing so it was nice just being able to follow and not have to stress about plans... we spent like 4 days in Bangkok seeing tons of Wats (buddhist temples) and buddhas, wandering the streets, and a little shopping! The temples were the most amazing things ever... they were soo ornate and detailed it was amazing. They all had tons of gold and were absolutely as stunning from close up as they were from across town. The architecture was so unique it was great! The only downside to the Wats was that i had to wear what i like to call my "temple outfit" which my friends deemed the most un-sexy outfit ever haha... I had to buy a long sleeve white shirt and skirt that went down to my feet... The outfit was funny it just sucked that it was so hot and humid there... but the Wats were well worth the outfit! 

We also went to an island called Ko Chang which was gorgeous... One night we stayed in a bungalow which was pretty sweet... we slept under a mosquito net! haha the bathroom was part of the bungalow but was somewhat open to the outdoors so one when we opened the door we saw a hugee lizard and cockroach haha...pretty gross but also kinda cool! We spent 3 days there and the highlight was probably riding elephants! The elephant took us through a jungle/forest type place... it was soo cool... 

I have so much more to write but I am super tired so i will finish this tomorrow!

Miss you all!!!
