Last night in Thailand

hmm... I just got a massage.... Actually all I want to do right now is sleep... The massage was fantastic.. I loved it when she twisted by whole body and I could hear the cracks go down my spine... The only painful parts were when she was working on places where I don't have much muscle.. Otherwise it, though not exactly relaxing, really loosened me up...

Today I only covered the Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha (which turns out to be actually jade, but the guy who first found him was mistaken), and Wat Pho. I had thought the queen's quarters in Hanoi's Old Palace was unique, but turns out the porcelain inlay thingy is actually pretty widely used. It's still pretty, though. And those here are in much better condition since they didn't get bombed and the structures they are used in (mostly the prangs) are more grand. Too tired of the city to try to do anything else. Kind of looking forward to leaving, even if it's just trading one city for another. But then one is home after all.

This will probably be my last post while in Thailand. During this trip, at least. Will still post if I have any pictures I'm particularly proud of =)

I didn't get to go clubbing with masa after all. There was some miscommunication (the filming is outside Bangkok) and I didn't check my mail often enough and he tried to call but somehow Thai phones can never get through to mine. Wish I knew why... Is there something other than the +65 one has to add?

Tired.. Don't even feel like trying to socialise or shop or get food now...
