Tuk Tuk…..goose!

Tuk Tuk…..goose! So far, Bankok is not at all what we’ve expected. We had prepared ourselves for endless noise, chaos, dirt, mugginess and crowds. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that Bangkok is rather spread out, the weather was much more pleasant and less humid that China, the people are friendly, and the city’s actually pretty nice. Best part about it – it’s CHEAP. We’ve stayed in excellent hotels, and had incredible meals here so far. The food is such a nice change from the bland noodles and sketchy mystery meat we were eating on a daily basis in China! The tuk tuk (basically, it’s a motorcycle with two seats strapped to the back) is one of the primary methods of transportation here. The upside – you get to be outside and ride in a fun little car. The downside – the pollution and traffic are horrendous in Bangkok and, as soon as you sit down in a tuk tuk, you inevitably get stuck between two buses breathing in fumes.
