Thailand: A reluctant beginning

So Aleks, is there going to be a Thailand blog? No way, these blogs are too much work, get off my case!

Ok ok, I guess maybe I got something to say anyway, I'm a bloggaholic.

First impressions of Bangkok, this place is MASSIVE, the capital of not only Thailand, but of all of Southeast Asia, its skyline stretches as far as the eye can see. The taxi ride from the airport was probably the longest I've ever taken - longer than 1 hour. The infrastructure is really fantastic. Highways, bridges, skyscrapers - on par with LA or New York. People drive on the wrong side of the street, just like England & Japan.
