Dear Thailand [Day 27: The End]


Thailand Trip = The End

It was quite depressing leaving.
I left around 5am to catch the 8an flight to Tokyo.
Took 6 hrs and the flight attendants kept thinking I was the child of the lady beside me.
It's lonely being on the plane and walking through the airports to the gates =(


Flight to Dallas, TX = delayed due to "backup generator fail", awesome!
The 11 hr flight = slept + bride wars + monk + valkyrie (good movie btw)

Within the last hr the girl beside me asked me a question about the Customs form.
She's from Korea and is going to Florida for sightseeing and taking a CBA test. She's majoring in Business and has seen DBSK multple times in concerts because she lives near the station where a lot of famous Korean bands play. Neat =D she was really cool


Flight to Nashville,TN = sleep more (2 hrs)
When I was at the Dallas airport, there was a rude grumpy dude who told the boy (who accidentally dropped a napkin on the way to the trash) to pick it up. He yelled "HEY!" and as I was walking past, he gave me an angry look. Pfft geez, welcome to America, where the peope can be rude and nosy.

In Thailand, I actually rarely met any rude people
(I can only think of the DMV Meryl Streep)
Honestly. Even if they wanted to be rude, I couldn't tell. Maybe it's the way the language is, but today I went to Mcdonalds (I was hungry forealz), and the cashier was an old lady. I walked in behind a guy and the cashier smiled and said "Welcome to Mcdonalds! What can I get for you sir!?" OHH, but what did she say to me when I approached the cash register? NOTHING. She just glared at me, then when I was about to leave she had her back turned away from me and yelled "HAVE A NICE DAY"....and no it wasn't a pleasant yell.


Customs was lameeeeee
You have to go through customs when you visit a different country to make sure you aren't carrying anything back illegal. My bags were scanned for "Agriculture", yay. But when I arrive @ nashville to get my bags, one of them was missing. WTFZ. I was scared it was lost or someone stole it. There was an expensive camera (the SLR) and my clothes! The Baggage Service guy said it happens all the time because they probably had to scan it again and was on the way to a different flight. I was hella hungry, and I didn't want to wait for it. They said they would deliever it so they did! But when I got home, my other bag's lock was missing, my stuff inside was in a messy order, one of my magazines was taken out of it's package, and something spilled because the cap was loose. !@#$%

I hate Customs >:(
Bitches


I miss thailand already.
Especially the food and how I didn't have to worry about anything there.
I forgot about the time zone, I accidentally called my dad and the house there at 3am in the morning. oops!

What's so different there?
Here are some differences
  • They don't use paper towels, they juse tissue for everything
  • Even when it is a tiny piece of chicken, they will cut it smaller instead of stabbing it iwth a fork and shoving it into their mouths. (I do that =D)
  • Their bathroom stalls are better! No cracks =P
  • Known public places like malls have western toliets! (I never once used an eastern one, yes!)
  • If you aren't Thai, good luck trying to bargain with street vendors!
  • As loong as LGBT people don't break the law, they don't care what they do
  • Students wear uniforms, but hazing is a huge thing in Thailand
  • Schools don't have rivalrys in sports, they do against each other and will fight on the streets (my dad did too)
  • ladyboys/transgender people are on television & movies too!
  • Their movie theaters can have assigned seats
  • A lot of street vendors have tshirt size called "Freesize" means one size fits whoever can fit it
  • Students (they take buses and taxis) flood the malls and random places after school (My dad and his friends hungout near the mall and checked out girls, surprising!)
  • Lots of slums =(

Im still on thailand time zone. X_X
I am awake in the early morning and in the evening time I just want to sleep!

WELCOME BACK TO THE BORO (how fun)

Dear Thailand [Day 26: DBSK!!!!]

OMFG! DBSK DAY~!


From morning to afternoon, I spent @ ChatuChak Market!
The biggest and cheapest market in Bangkok [When I thought things couldnt be any cheaper]
According to wikipedia, there are around 5,000 stalls and is only open on the weekend. Around 200,000 to 300,000 people visit!






Big cities = lots of homeless

DBSK TIME!
Left @ 4pm, doors open at 6pm.



Want anything DBSK?!
Tons of crazy fans looking for t-shirts, fans, lights, and other memorabilia on the streets


Impact Arena!


Security was uptight!
no cameras, no audio recording devices, no food/drinks, etc
But I ninja'd my camera in
My cousin wasn't so lucky with her food. She wrapped her McDonalds french fries in a scarf and held it. It failed


These girls dressed up!


So we took a picture!


Fireworks!


Once we walked out...STORM!
A lot of BADDD traffic, streets were flooded up to the cars, stuck not moving much for 2 hrs and tons of fans couldn't find taxi rides or bus rides. Many waited it out, while others walked in the rain and flooded sidewalks to find rides.


Afterwards we noticed DBSK (what we think is them) on the top balcony across from Impact Arena =O


THE WAVVVEEEE!!!
This arena seats around 30,000 people. WHOA!





I know you want them photos too

Well I took snapshots from the videos.
Video coming soon! I have to edit first













WELCOME TO THAILAND'S CONCERTS!
