The beginning part of this took place while I was traveling/ studying abroad. I guess I recently rediscovered this thing. I don't expect any one to stumble upon this. If you do, good for you.

Bangkok
I was here a week but didn't see too much. I did see Wat Pho (and the famous reclining Buddha), the infamous Khao San Road. I also got to go to Newsong Bangkok! The food in Thailand is quite good as well. One of the cool things I did in Bangkok was go on a fieldtrip with my friend's Thai Rural Development class. We went to a temple where they help AIDS patients. It was a very interesting experience. Corps were displayed (including ones of those of children who had died from AIDS). We saw the patients as well, it was quite sad, like they were an exhibit. We also got a special thai-dance performance from some more AIDS patients (a few were transvestites). We also got to go to a near-by city and play around in some ruins. I'll have to ask him for some pictures.
