So after like 30 hours I finally made it to Bangkok at 7 last night. My flights were all pretty good, and I slept the majority on all of them. I was still exhausted by the time I got here though. Going through four different time changes in one day is hard and confusing. I seriously never knew what time it was. I almost missed my flight from Doha to Bangkok because of it too, but I made it, that's all that matters.
It surprisingly took no time to go through customs and get my luggage at the airport. We touched down at like 7:05, were off the plane by 7:20, and I was in a taxi leaving the airport by 7:55. Driving through Bangkok last night was amazing. We stayed on the highway for about 20 minutes and the city was just full of lights and billboards every 10 meters pretty much. I don't know why, but it kind of reminded me of driving down the Strip in Las Vegas. Probably because of all the billboards and like 10 lane roads.
I made it to my hotel by 8:30 and at that time I was dead. I just wanted to shower and sleep in a bed, and not an upright position. Both my roommates moved in yesterday too, so they were both here when I arrived. I haven't spent much time with them yet because they went out right after I got here but they seem so nice! And I somehow managed to get the master suite of our place. We have a three bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with a little kitchen and living room. It is absolutely beautiful. We have so much space, and four balconies! There's one in the living room plus we all have a private balcony in our rooms. The view is great too. This place so far is just awesome. This morning I want to explore and find the pool and gym and see what else there is around here. I also need to go shopping today. There's a few necessities that didn't come with the room. And hopefully I can get my phone hooked up today or tomorrow.
Ah it's just so crazy to think that I'm actually in Bangkok. This is gonna be a great five months!
