thai update
you people didnt really think i could go THAT long without some connecting to the internets, did you?
I am currently in the hotel lobby waiting to set out for 3 days in the jungles of thailand, rafting down the mekong and river kwai, visitng the tiger temple and who knows what else. Yesterday i maxed my nerd factor, as in addition to visiting several wat’s which i will go into more later when i have more than 5 minutes of access remaining (
), we stopped into a hospital to check out the forensic and pathology museums-oh dr szanto would be so proud
fun fact-the thai forensic museum keeps the REAL ACTUAL DEAD BODIES of several serial killers preserved and on display at the forensics museum, along with a host of unidentified vairous organs in a super fascinating study of pathology- i got to see a triple A and a horshoe kidney (non medical students ignore the last paragraph)
other than that, having a blast and taking truckloads of pics. everyone take care, and have a great v day however you spend it
fyi: the song in the last post is called one night in bangkok, it is a super well known 80′s tune, but apparently not outside the us, since none of my friends seem to know it-it is by the group murray head or chess depending on where you look

just re-read and how did I miss to comment on two things: 1) love that song still, but don’t tell anyone. shhh. 2) i can’t believe they keep those dead bodies there on display. wow. what’s the place called so I can tell my brother for his next shoot-over?
Vacay and Xanga… that’s true devotion right there! haha Do they celebrate V-day over in Thailand? In any case, Happy Valentine’s Day!
did they have displayed the stolen private parts of ppl too?
I know the song. I thought even people in the US know it? I’m surprised.
Oh, and the Thai dessert you should try (the one I described as skin and hair) is called “Lo-thii”
Uh… not exactly correct spelling but yeah.
