Bangkok, Thailand (day 85)
I flew in to Bangkok this afternoon with apprehension. The smog covered the city like a grey cloud and everything seemed so large and overwhelming. However within minutes of arriving in Bangkok I knew everything would be okay. A friendly Thai taxi driver weaved through the city streets talking to me about Thailand. I arrived at my hotel and met the guys I will be travelling with for the next month. To my relief they all seem really cool.
For dinner we went to a small restaurant but I was distracted from my dinner. The streets were alive with the sounds of music and screeching as people soaked each other with water pistols and flour. I was excited to experience it.
After dinner we made our way back on to the Bangkok streets. However while caught up in my enthusiasm I got lost (surprise, surprise). So I tried to make my way through the maze of Bangkok's dark streets and alleyways, meanwhile I was getting attacked with water pistols and covered in powder. It was actually a lot of fun

I would definitely recommend that if you have to get lost in Bangkok at night you do so during Buddhist New Year Celebrations.
