Happy New Year!

So i actually dont think it is new year yet over there, but we had a blast last night! After walking around downtown and checking out the INSANE amount of shopping to be done (to my credit i only bought a pair of sunglasses, i dont want to carry all the stuff i want for six weeks!) we made some English friends at our hostel and went out for the celebrations as a big group of about 10. It was so fun to have a crew to run around with and the street was fucking crazy packed. there were stages and zillions of people and madness in general. today we are hungover and heading for a boat ride down the river and then taking our train at 6pm to Chian Mai--which I am so excited about!. I had my frist taste of thai massage yesterday as well when we got a 1/2 hour foot massage for $4. It felt amazing after walking all day and i am defintely sold on the whole thing. much more of that to come! love to all and adios to 2008! Sara
Happy New Years from this Sarah as well!! Last night was fun, but Bangkok is definitely the most overwhelming place I've ever been for New Years. It was NUTS! Bangkok is a cool city but not easy to navigate around! We took out first ride in a Tuk-Tuk yesterday, which was pretty crazy - Sara says that she wants to bring one to Burning Man. The drivers here are also the craziest drivers I've ever seen - it's like there are no traffik laws or something. Well that's all for now, hopefully we'll be able to put some pictures up in the next day or so at an internet cafe. We haven't had time to check that out. Tata for now! Sarah
