its been what....6 months since i last updated my xanga? crazyyyyy......but yeah, I thought I should update it before my xanga really really dies and ceases to exist.
So anyways, it's been a good 6 months. Been out of school for about 7 and been working for a good nine months now. Wow....time flies. Working life is eh......not too exciting.....not too boring....just a tad bland. Haha....I guess I'll just get use to it eventually.
So back in August, I went on a mini vacation to Thailand and Cambodia and took 3 weeks off of work....!! Boy were they happy to hear about that when I told them....but yeah, here are some pictures from my fun-filled trip. Enjoy!!
The new Bangkok International Airport.....look at them cool escalators....
Outside the airport.....looking at their cool control tower...the world's tallest!!
one of our first meals....in my beloved foodcourt at mbk of course! haha...and look at how we're all wearing yellow!....such loyal tourists!
the usual sightseeing.....royal palace/temple of the emerald buddha
...the roof
Wat Arun/Temple of the Dawn
me at the top of the Temple of Dawn....signing my family's name for good luck
At the Floating Market....too bad it rained that day....had to put my camera in a plastic bag and cut a hole for the lens...haha
yumm....nothing like eating off a boat....
uh......tripping hazard. a big nono in america.....thats just a lawsuit waiting to happen!
Ayuttaya....ancient capital of Thailand....
lil elephant peeking out from behind the yellow robe...
Me in Lampang....at the elephant conservation camp...
....dont wanna get run over by these...
at another temple in Lampang. Had to make an offering since it's suppose to be a bad year for the Ox
...one of my favorite desserts....!! eaten straight out of the bamboo.....using a piece of bamboo u rip off as ur utensil....mmm....yum!
now onto Phuket!
look at the dark ominous clouds in the distance. It rained nonstop.....constant downpour. Monsoon season = bad time to go
haha.....
Did some kayaking/canoeing through the caves. Due to the rain....the water level rose super duper fast. Our guy had to jump out and push us through while others had to ditch their boat and actually swim out. We were lucky to get out unscathed...others actually got their faces scratched!
....close call!!
we stayed at Patong beach in Phuket. Very very touristy and european and westernized. Boy were we happy when we actually found REAL thai food.....
yummmm....pad thai....street food is zeee best!
last meal in bangkok....yummy street food. had to save it for the last day in case we got sick =)
mmmm....yummy and spicy!
Now off to Cambodia....aboard our beautiful little plane for our 45 minute flight that costs $400!!! Siem Reap only has one airport that allows only one airlines to fly in.....talk about a Monopoly!!!
Me and my trusty sidekick in what our own personal mode of transportation complete with driver!
no pavement....no traffic striping....no traffic signals....pretty awesome
full service gas station!! haha.....
chicken anyone?
our driver as seen through his side mirror. Notice how he has to cover his nose while he drives....its that dusty!
what an awesome car/truck!
phew....we made it!
Angkor Wat.....truly amazing and breathtaking. There's nothing like it in the world....
The long corridors...
look at their intricate carvings...
lots and lots of people. It was super duper hot....
Lots of statues looked like this...
Lots of temples in ruins....
super steep stairs...
hmmmm.....
it was more like rock climbing than walking up stairs....pretty scary
Bayon.....known for the faces that are seen all over the temple...
Ta Phrom.....one of the more popular temples since they allowed the trees to grow out of control....
crazy ruins....
more ruins....
...and some more...
Here's one of those crazy trees....
...be careful!
...and the Tomb Raider tree!! look familiar?
hmm...Okay....that's about it I guess. I hope you guys enjoyed the pictures. Let's see how I do at updating my xanga in the near future.....take care everyone!!! |
