So we're in Bangkok.
We went on an all-day tour today, got tons of sun, talked to tons of japanese people who happened to be there, and saw lots of awesome ruined temples and Buddha statues.
Temperature-wise it's nothing short of 100 degrees, and so we had to pound water all day. We're eating lots of great food and buying cool stuff.
The title of this entry might be a bit confusing, but let me tell you that it's a sign that I saw on the way to our hostel yesterday. I'm preeeeeeetty sure those are Thai words, and not in fact what they look like at first glance. Probably.

Destroyed
So steve and I were out in the sun for like 5 hours yesterday... and as a consequence I'm totally burnt. Almost my whole body is red. Combine that with a crappy night of sleep, and I was pretty much a zombie this morning. Steve seems okay.
We got this lady to custom-make us some board shorts, and she said they'd be done by today so we're going to go check them out right after this. Won't even cost that much.
Turns out we're rich here without even trying. Meals cost around 300 or 400 rupees, and steve and I are both packing around 20,000 rupees+ so...
I think I'm going to take it easy today, but my burns hurt like a bitch even with a shirt on. I borrowed a book from a random beach-side restaurant and I've been reading it to kill time. I'll probably finish it today lol.
Alright... steve's turn on the comp haha.

Singapore
The hotel we stayed at rocked and the breakfast this morning was made by Jesus himself. I can definitely say that our room was better than the room I had in Fukuoka the first day I stayed in Japan. I don't even want to think about what it would have cost us if we had actually paid for it ourselves.
Right now we're in Singapore airport waiting for our 10:30 flight to Colombo. We're kinda tired because we had to wake up early but I can't help but be excited for the beaches and ridiculously nice weather that's waiting for us....
Did I mention it was 25 degrees last night? At 1 in the morning?

Hurray for technical difficulties!
Our flight from Fukuoaka was supposed to have an hour stop in Taipei and then go on to Hong Kong, but it decided not to do that. Technical deficulties were apparently a more exciting move to make.
Our flight then got moved to an our later, which made us miss our connecting flight from Hong Kong to Sinapore, which ultimately means we wont be making it to Sri Lanka tonight.
Admist the complaints and new-found hatred of Cathay pacific, at least I can say they'll be arranging a hotel room for us in Singapore at their expense. They also took care of the rest of our flights so that we aren't stranded.
I'd take pictures but it's foggy out and all I can see is planes from outside the windows.

Vacation
So Steve and I are off to Sri Lanka tomorrow. We'll be there for six days staying at a beach-side resort-ish place with a view of the ocean from our windows. I for one am looking forward to 30 degree weather for a change. Okinawa was nice temperature-wise but Sri Lanka is going to be hooooot.
After 6 days in Sri Lanka we're heading slightly homeward but stopping midway for three days in Thailand. We may or may not ride elephants.
Bought a shiny new 4-gig memory card for my camera so there won't be a chance of running out of space with just the 2-gig one I have now.
I still gotta pack, but at least my apartment is clean and I've pretty much got everything else in order.
Expect photos and whatnot.
