Bangkok...

So I arrived in Bangkok...

$1 = 28.97 THB

Saturday we toured a little provice outside of Bangkok by the name of Ko Koed. I dropped about $10 there. We then proceded to have some lunch, had a 1.5 hour thai massage, and then went to Chinatown.

Sunday found me seeing the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and Chatuchak (JJ) market. I definately helped to stimulate the Thai economy in the JJ market. I got some cool bronze bells, a bronze budda, a 25" wood carving, some marientes, and my favorite...a bronze that is of 2 Thai dancers holding a bell between them. I will see if I can't get some pictures posted later.

I flew into Hanoi early this morning...I have already had a bowl of Pho!!! Mummmm....noodles.

Arrival in Singapore...

So I am finally in Singapore...

I was upgraded to First Class from Denver to San Fran...upgraded to Business Class from San Fran to Tokyo...and cattle car from Tokyo to Singapore...2 out of three isn't bad.

#1) US $1 = Sing $1.363

Got up early and went to Little India in Singapore...bought a sapphire blue and magenta colored Saree for $35 sing bucks...big fun. Now I have to figure out how to put 12 yards of material around me and not choke myself to death!!! If I figure it out...I will try and post a picture. I am also looking at a silk Saree for something fun. I guess I will wear them when Pays 4 Busch takes me out to eat at an Indian Resturant in Fort Collins or Denver!!!

I am eating lunch today with some of our co-workers here in Singapore...the Easter bunny came to my hotel room for two of the children (ages 4 & 7). I guess the Easter bunny isn't something that makes appearances here...so it should be pretty funny watching their faces and explaining that a large white rabbit left goodies for them in my room!!!

Will try to keep updates posted.

Catching up...

So I haven't been keeping up with the blogg lately...lame. So what have I been doing???

Well then house project is still moving forward. I am still cleaning, getting rid of crap, culling the my closets, etc. Went by a door place...looking to replace the front door with something a little more snazzy than the red metal number...some sort of fiberglass with a stain-glass insert. Should be nice. I think we may just try and finish the basement instead of buying a new house...I figure $25,000 is cheaper than $350,000....

I am also trying to get ready to be in SE Asia for almost 3 weeks. I leave on MArch 21...which is creeping up on me way to fast. I did get a new hard-sided 25" suitcase from REI. That should help getting all the goodies home from Singapore, Bangkok, and Vietnam.

Work is still nuts...I can't seem to keep up.
