The Suk 11, our backpacker's hostel in Bangkok, Thailand. It was like the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse in Disneyland. We stayed here for our 4 nights in Thailand. It was all made of wood, and full of foreign backpackers from all over the world.

Our luggage for the two-week excursion, which we carried on our backs through five countries. My backpack is the one on the right, holding the purple plastic bag which contains my cute ornamental umbrella I bought in Thailand. I carried it throughout the entire trip, on planes, trains, and boats, and didn't even lose it. UNTIL the night we arrived in our last destination, Hong Kong, where of course I left it on the bus. BUT...through a long and arduous process we reclaimed it.

Me in a tuk-tuk, my preferred method of transportation. They sound just like their name. They're pretty cheap to ride, and the open-air seating cools you off from the sticky Thai air. Careful, though, the drivers are evil. We got dragged through Bangkok by our driver who didn't tell us that he got his gas paid if he took us to all these stores. So we spent a lot of time shopping in these random stores. After like two hours, he FINALLY took us to the Golden Mount, which was where we were headed in the first place.



I didn't know you could buy those in stores. Sign me up.
