Bangkok, Thailand

So now I'm in Thailand. Its hot, humid, and for the first time in a while I feel like I'm in a foreign city. Bangkok is very much different than Beijing, the streets are much narrower so you feel like the city is taller. The people look different, darker, the girls are cuter. Even going to Kunming for the first time last week I didn't really feel different. I think its because I was used to Chinese people and I can speak the language. In fact my Chinese is quite good I think, enough to evoke a "your Chinese isn't bad" from everyone that I talk to. And now that I'm in a new country with a new language I feel really out of place. Fortunately, far more people speak English here. Anybody who is anybody can speak some English. And there are tons of foreigners. But they all look European.

Tomorrow and Sunday I'm playing some ultimate and then trying to find a place to watcht the Super Bowl at 6 am Monday morning.
