Good Bye South East Asia...sniff, sniff

Tomorrow we leave Bangkok for Jordan. Though we are happy to experience somthing totally new, we are a bit sad to be leaving the place we've spent so much time at. Also, we're missing the biggest part of their New Years...or Sakgrom. We got to experience a little of it last night.

We had to go to Kho San Road (the major backpacker area of Bangkok) to exchange books. We read them all in the islands. There was just the beginning of the celebration. It's a water festival combined with the New Years so you walk down the street and get assaulted by people with water guns and cups and buckets of water...whether you like it or not. Most businesses are closed for the next three days, which sucks because we've got stinky laundry that needs to be done and with no way to do it by the time we leave tomorrow morning. Oh well, so is life on the road.

One thing I must say, we are leaving during the best time weather wise. It has started to get unbelievably hot and uncomfortable here. It even rained today, which we thought it was the dry season.
