I went to Bangkok for the weekend.
It was kind of sudden and out of the blue, but I enjoyed it very much. I got in on Thursday and did absolutely nothing that day. Friday I went and saw the Grand Palace, The Emerald Buddha and the the Reclining Buddha. The Grand Palace was pretty cool, and the Emerald Buddha made the trip to the Grand Palace worth it. But the really amazing thing was the Reclining Buddha.
IT WAS HUGE!!!!! Our house could have fit in the room it was housed twice. The toes were as big as my head!
I met a really nice German girl on the boat to see all this stuff. We ended up hanging out for the whole day, which makes me a little less nervous about meeting people when I am traveling on my own. Her name was Sarah, but we didn't establish that until we were saying goodbye.
On Saturday I went to this huge market and bought some cool clothes and had a really good lunch of bamboo shoots and chicken. That night, my guest house finally got other guests and I went to a local temple festival with two English girls. They sadly left first thing the next morning.
On Sunday I went on a boat trip, but before that got up very early to go to the produce market. I saw all number of not very pleasant parts of animals. And live turtles. I walked along and saw a Chinese Buddhist temple, which was very big and looked a lot like a Thai one, if you ask me. I could tell there was a difference, but don't ask me what it was.
After a very boring Sunday, late in the day, I decided to go out and see the Liverpool/Ashton Villa game. Which just turned into me hanging out in the backpacker area with a guy called Steve. But Liverpool won so that was cool.
But it's nice to be home.

Wait, did you go by yourself?
If so, that's so cool.
Yes. All by myself.
