Day One in Southeast Asia
My first taste of Asian street food and it was so good!
It’s been a while since I’ve been somewhere completely and totally new for me. I’m having similar feelings to three years ago when I stepped on land in the Middle East for the first time and kept picturing myself on the map thinking, I’m THERE! Only this time, with Bangkok being the well-worn backpackers trail that it is, I keep seeing myself in the photos of other travelers’ trips come to life. Look, a real tuk tuk! Oh, it’s a Buddha statue. Another shiny temple!
My first impressions of Bangkok are that it’s not nearly as dirty, chaotic, and seedy as I had imagined it would be. But then again, I’ve only been here 12 hours and haven’t had time to see much. Still, I’m impressed and I want to learn more about this city and discover its hidden secrets. I think I could spend some time here.
The Present Perfect 
The street food is the best thing about Bangkok.
You’re in my favorite part of the world! Or, the part I know best (aside from here, of course). It’s going to be so fun to watch you in this area of the world. Eat up!
Sooo excited to be here! And the food I’ve eaten so far is amazing!
Yay, glad you made it safely and are already exploring!!
