Bangkok, Thailand
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
So I'm in Bangkok. I was told that the international terminal here is the longest covered one in the world, from end to end... and when you walk the whole way, you believe it! It's one of the coolest, if not THE coolest airport I've ever been to. Scott and Cat are flying business class, and I'm stuck in economy, but I'm not complaining... they dragged me along into the Thai airlines Lounge, where the seats are much comfy. I've got an all night flight to South Africa, but I'm thinking it's going to be a good one. I'll be arriving there 3 days before the conference begins, so I'm supposed to be a gopher, but if they don't need me, I'll have a bunch of free time to explore South Africa. The YFC-CYARA training center is a kilometer from the city, and there are hiking trails all throughout the site!
Enough for now, I hope you're all doing well at home.

P.S. Whoever gave me the "Into a pit with a lion on a snowy day" book for graduation, thanks! I've been reading it on the flight from Chiang Mai to here (and it's really good!)

Hey there
Sounds like your having more adventure. We had a storm! trees fell down! thats about as exciting as it got here. How's the language barrier coming? I made a bet with my mom that you have already mastered half the language. Anyway, we went to the Noodles and Company restaurant and my dad got Bangkok noodles in thought of you. I leave for Ohio State tomorrow, so next time you talk to me I'll be a college man. I grew facial hair for the occasion. Love you big guy.
