Well, I'm safely in Thailand.. sitting at the conference right now, on conference computers. We have no wireless, and can't plug our own computers in.
Bangkok, is, well, I'm going to reserve judgement for another time. I'm trying to separate culture shock from Bangkok shock. It's.. interesting. I'll leave it at that.
We did some touristy stuff on Monday... I'll write more about that, and post pictures when I get home.. it's conference time now.. yay!
Update:
Yea, so I forgot to update this. Basically, had a blast in Thailand. We saw the royal palace, saw a temple, had a ride up the river on a boat... Went to the weekend market.. bought stuff.. ate stuff.. went clubbing.. and just had a great time. The purchase power of the dollar is fantastic. Pictures.
