Looking at hostels online, the ones in tourist areas always appeal. They're convenient! They're social! But then I arrive and I always wonder why the restaurants nearby only cater to foreigners. And then I complain a lot about not getting to have a local experience. I'm hopeless, aren't I?
This time, I decided that I would stay somewhere with local street food. I ended up in the center of Bangkok, where hundreds of stalls cater to office workers on their lunch breaks. Today, I had chicken saute, street coffee, and a tasty roasted banana. How great would it be to stop in a street stall for that pre-work pick-me-up instead of Starbucks? I'm jealous. (Although there are plenty of places to get Starbucks here. Don't you worry.)
I felt right at home with all those office people because I've done nothing but stare at a computer since I got here: I needed to pick up my India visa and research the next couple of months, not to mention plan for the summer.
But before I start making good on those plans (or, rather, throwing them to the wind), here's a look at where I've been over the last month. Check out this map for details.
I picked up my India visa today. Delhi tomorrow!
