Hello again!
The massage was really nice :) it was like a really good stretch before some sport... I felt really good after :) Standing really upright. It was slightly strange tho, having this Thai girl walking on you and bending you in ways I'm not used to. Lol.
Had a great day yesterday, went to the Grand Temple, and the giant reclining Buddah and then went off to the Siam aquarium in central Bangkok. Was really great because each of the places I went I met up with people and went around doing stuff with them. Barely been on my own. Lol. Then went out last night (very long night) and met two girls from Denmark, two girls from Ireland, 5 guys from Leeds, two guys from Edinborough, 6 teachers from California (coolest teachers I've ever met) and a very tall German... to name a few. So yeah, it really is that easy to meet people :)
Thinking of heading off to Kanchanaburi today instead of staying in Bangkok another night, mainly because I've seen the sights I'd be interested in and the city is so polluted and full of taxi and tuk tuk drivers hastling you all the time. It's great for a while, but I think I want to see the more rural side of this country.
I did get the bus in the end, and again, that way I got to meet people. Two of the girls on the bus were the people I went to the temple with, so there you go!
Best thing so far:
Walking down Khao San Road with some mates, hastled by a Tuk Tuk driver saying "You need Tuk Tuk? I show you city. 5 baht, for you special price" to which my Scottish friend said "You need Tuk Tuk! I give you good service, see ping pong show!" This was followed by a collection of angry sounding Thai words from the Tuk Tuk driver and a few gestures, but he got the message ;)

Sounds like a blast so far! But yeah, the rural side of Thailand has to be more interesting than the Big Smoke (Or at least better for your health). But will you meet so many westerners out in the sticks?
