Well I have finally arrived in Bangkok... For those of you that didn't know, my flight was delayed 6 hours at LAX because someone had flushed something down the toilet and clogged the system.... Of course I only had a 1 hour layover in Osaka before heading to Bangkok so there was no way I was going to make that flight! Luckily Japan Airlines has become my new favorite Airline... They gave us meal vouchers at LAX and then arranged for an entirely new flight to bangkok leaving just after our arrival in Osaka. They were originally going to put us all on flights the next day but soon realized there were too many of us and we wouldn't have all made it on the next day either. Instead they hired Thai Airlines to add a flight and we pretty much all had entire rows to ourselves in our own private 737! United probably would have made us buy a new ticket all together and just said we were out of luck!

Anyway, so after 18 hours on planes and 10 hours in airports I am finally in Thailand. Due to the time zone changes though I never got to experience saturday... Did I miss anything? I'm pretty sure that I get back before I left though so I should make up that day of my life then ; ) Also, I managed to get a bed at an australian run hostel for a whopping $4 / night!

It's 7:30 am here and I can't officially check in until 12 so I think I'm going to start exploring the city.
