Khoasan Road

Hello all I am sorry I have not been writing much much I have been traveling the past week or so. I left Chengdu when it was 45 degrees and arrived in Bangkok Thailand where it was 85 degrees. We ended up on Koason road a famous starting point for travelers who are traveling in Southeast Asia. Just to give you an idea of who all is there while I was there I met people from South Africa, Australia, Canada, Cameroon, Kazakhstan, Germany, France, Brazil, you name it they are all there. We stayed in a hostel that had 3 beds in it and cost us a total of 12 dollars a night all it had was a fan. It was suffocatingly hot but a lot of fun. The food that the street vendors had was outrageous it would cost less than a dollar and you could see it cooked right in front of you and it was amazing. Pad Thai, Banana pancakes and Mango with Sticky rice are my favorites. I could not believe how many foreigners where there especially coming from China where there are hardly any foreign people at all. After the initial shock of the amount of travelers wore off we went and discovered Bangkok it is an amazing city with a lot going on. They had one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples you could ever imagine they are definitely way more colorful than the Chinese when it comes to there celebration of Religion. It was absolutely phenomenal.
