Well, folks, I am officially in Bangkok. I arrived on Friday, and have been staying with a very cool guy named AJ at his fly pad in trendy Sukhumvit. Saturday, AJ and I went shopping at the insane MBK centre, and we both bought pretty cool T-shirts. Thereafter, I went to see an apartment in a great location, which I totally loved, but could not commit to right away (since it was the first apartment I'd seen), so I didn't get it, because the girl who came to see it after me snatched it up. Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be.

Saturday night, we went to a goodbye party for a girl named Sooki, where I met a bunch of AJ's friends, who he calls the only people you need to know in Bangkok. While I do plan on meeting other people, it was really cool to meet them. We then headed to an extremely funky club called Nars, where we danced until 4am. Now, I have made a resolution to myself that work comes first this year, and there will be much less partying in this Bangkok life, but I reasoned that I was sort of networking. (lol)

Yesterday, I went to the weekend market (also insane), and then AJ and I went to see Avatar (incredible!!). Today I have sent out approximately 1,000 e-mails trying to find writing jobs and apartments. I'm going to my friend Martha's (who I met in Pai and traveled most of Laos with) tonight for dinner. I'll crash at hers tonight, and then tomorrow I'll probably move to a guest house for a few days. I am really - REALLY tired of moving my shit around. I can NOT wait to get a place just so I can unpack my stuff for GOOD.
