"She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks"

So this is it people. I'm in Hong Kong right now waiting for my flight back. Let me get you up to speed. Our last night in Cambodia we went to a "club" (really just a restaurant) to see some traditional Cambodian dancing. It was awesome, they dressed like peacocks. My kind of dancing. The next day we left at 7 am on a bus for Bangkok. It was a long drive to the border (about 5 hours) and they would randomly stop off at places so we could eat but they were such random places that definitely had some sort of affiliation with the bus company. We went through passport control with no problems and then got into a minivan to drive the rest of the 6 hours to Bangkok. Ashley got put on a different van than Amy and I so we had to explain to the driver that we needed to get her. Luckily the van she was in got a flat tire so we had to pick them up anyway. The guy in the passenger seat of the van was from California and changed his shirt four times on the way. Back and forth..odd. He also would not stop bitching about the bus on the way over/the minivan. He told us literally about five times about how he should have just paid $25 to get a taxi. He was talking to someone on the phone telling them about how the trip was a "nightmare" and the company we were using was totally unreliable. A little melodramatic..who knew California people were so high maintenence (lolzzz). I watched Good Will Hunting in the van on the way over (and didn't even get carsick!) and afterward when I took out the headphones I could hear a guy's headphones playing so loud. I turned to Amy and said "Amy, you know what this is...Kid Cudi!" So we used his obnoxious loud music as a radio and sang and danced (seat dancing which is basically wiggling and flailing your arms right?) to Persuit of Happiness and Memories. We also looked right at him as we did it to see if he would maybe get a clue and turn it down...nope. Well we had a sweet night in Bangkok. It was nice to be back in Thailand where we can actually speak a bit of the language. We went to the night market in Bangkok and Ashley and I finally tried mango sticky rice which we've been meaning to have since we've been here. I'm definitely going to miss sticky rice. We spent the rest of the night watching random clips on youtube and organizing our stuff.

We got up at 4:30 am to leave for the airport at 5 (since Amy and Ashley both had flights at 8.) Not sure if I've mentioned this but Amy and I have a song. Yes, "our song" like married/old people (same thing right? mehehe...unless you're mormon I guess) have. It's "baby" by Justin Beiber. We've danced to it in so many places this summer. The empty dancefloor in Phi Phi, the beach at the full moon party, a couple of restaurants when it comes on the tv, and countless bus rides. We sort of have no shame about it now. So for a last hurrah we played it at the airport on my laptop to have one last dance sesh. We even got a few spectators who stopped to watch. Ashley and I walked Amy to passport control since her flight was first. The line was really long so we stood with her until we couldn't go any further and stopped to hug her. It was literally less than five seconds before people started pushing past us. One man said "do that somewhere else" as he walked past. So I told him "you're a bitter old man sir." I've definitely become more of an asshole this trip I guess. But he was old...and bitter. At least I didn't call him bald right? Well after saying bye to Ashley I chilled in the Bangkok airport for seven and a half hours. I had just enough baht left to buy a cup of noodles and some mentos (score!) and I mostly just read...and slept. Unfortunately my calculator broke so I couldn't do any physics. Well I got on the plane to Hong Kong only to discover that my headphones didn't work. It was a long, boring flight but I managed to pick some up at the Hong Kong airport just now. Yee. Oh you know those toursity promotional videos airplanes play when you touch down for landing? Well they were playing one about Hong Kong and showing how much fun tourists were having. They showed three different tourists all having a blast and doing their crazy tourist antics. There was a guy and his son from England, a cute, young Japanese couple and...a man from SAN JOSE, CA! Whaaaaaat??? I swear, life is seriously so weird. I know I keep saying it but stuff like that has been happening a lot recently. Anyway I don't have any new pictures so I'm just going to post pictures from the trip archives of random cute babies to spice up the blog. Enjoy.

Stay tuned for my deep, reflective post about how this whole experience changed my life. I might even show my soft side.
