“God Of This City”
I have so much to say today, but if I wrote an entire blog about what’s on my mind, it would just be me going on and on about my own cares and concerns. I know Bangkok is in the midst of chaos and violence right now, but God is still God. Prateep drove Alyse, Emily, and I to the bus station this afternoon because we were planning on getting a bus to Koh Samet to get out of the city, but it ended up being too late. As we were driving back into the city, I popped in my iPod and listened to C...

Oh Daeng.
***Fun fact of the day: the Thai word for red is “daeng” (pronounced dang); ex. Mob Daeng = red mob. Well, it all went down today. Looking back, going down to Silom and Sala Daeng yesterday was probably the worst idea ever…yet I am SO glad I did it. I’m glad I had the chance to take pictures and see everything before it all got too crazy. As of today, I can now officially say that yes, things are indeed as bad as the media is reporting. But no worries…I’m work...

Tour de Bangkok.
So, I woke up at 4am to the sound of Skeeter’s arm hitting the dresser. Normally, the soft sound is inaudible because the air conditioner is so loud…but not today because my power got shut off.

I was just the unlucky one who had to sleep in the 90 degree heat for a few hours. Oh well, it’s all good. To...

Subtle glow.
So that picture up there is the view of this area of the city from my room at BCC by the way…be jealous. Ok, so tonight is evidently the big night for the government to crack down on the Red Shirt protesters. All of the power and water is supposed to be cut off in their campground area at midnight, and I’m not really sure if that includes BCC or not. Hopefully not because there’s no way I’ll survive w/o any AC in this building. Last night I could hear some sort of gunsho...

Flyin’ solo.
Well, I’m here in Bangkok, Thailand…and I’m already homesick. As opposed to my last trip here, I’m alone. Iyaz got it right when he said, “I don’t wanna walk this earth if I gotta do it solo…solo.” Word. This sucks. I literally cried myself to sleep on my flight from LA to Tokyo. Of course, I can thank “Parachute” for that one…(Eric knows what I’m talking about, but he refuses to read my blog so he’ll never know that I...
