Here I am, on the road again... there I go, up on the stage...
And I'm headed home again.
I can't seem to stop the shopping. But on the plus side, I'd say I'm about 1/3 of the way done with my Christmas shopping. I finished up work at 6pm on Friday, and had 3 hours to kill before my car to the airport. My hotel had a mall attached, so I wandered around there for a couple of hours, and had dinner at McDonald's.
Number of days in Thailand: 5
Number of times eating at McDonald's: 2
Number of times eating in McDonald's in the US in the last 4 years: 0
It's one of those bizarre things that I only do when I'm abroad. However, it was worth it for this awesome picture of Ronald McDonald doing the traditional Thai bow.
Creepy Ronald is Creepy
My flight left Bangkok at 11:25 pm on Friday - 12:25 pm Friday Eastern. I was asleep before we even took off - which was kind of sad, because the plane had a camera on the front which was attached to the inflight monitors, so you could see the takeoff from the pilot's perspective, and I missed it because I literally couldn't keep my eyes open - and I slept the whole way. We landed at 7:30 am Saturday (6pm Friday Eastern), and I tried to take a picture on the way in because you could see the clouds reflecting in the rice paddies as we flew over.

So now I am waiting for my flight from Tokyo to Atlanta, which leaves at 3:30 pm (Saturday 2:30 am Eastern), and lands at 3:10pm. Watch me go back in time! It's all very exciting, except for the part where I am trying not to fall asleep in a public place and by the time I get home it will be almost 48 hours since I've showered.
So in the 5 days I was in Thailand, I spent $200. In the 3 hours I've been in Japan, I've spent nearly $60. But I needed that puffy Hello Kitty t-shirt. And a watch for my keychain! And a toothbrush set for my sister (she likes foreign toothbrushes) that promises to 'Keep Your Tooth Clean' - apparently you can only pick one tooth, but it will sparkle. They also have a small origami museum/shop, which was really cool.

And I will leave you with a picture of the cool lounge I'm sitting in while I wait for my flight - only four more hours to go!
