As the jet lag fades we have slowly been adjusting to the fastpaced and wild life bangkok brings with it. We have been eating our way down streets and alleyways trying as many types of local fare as possible. From the street vendors selling pineapple on a stick, fruit smoothies and banana-nutella crepes to the green-red-yellow-musaman-panag curries. The latter followed quickly by flavored yogurt drink to combat what we have heard is bangkok belly (an overload of spicy food...) We also got a traditional thai style massage (traditional massage mixed with yoga..), for only 4 dollars for one hour. Definitely a great way to relax after a couple days in flight.
Last night we woke up at 4am (I guess jet lag does take a couple days to go away...) and decided to take a stoll to get some snacks and some water. Thinking the city would be alseep, we were surprised to see the party still going with the local streets still packed with forieners and thais alike. wild.
We woke again today to another very tasty curry and rice breakfast from a nearby street vendor. As we were sitting, we watch tuk-tuks carrying too many passengers rip down narrow streets and scooters loaded down with multiple propane bottles weave through unsuspecting bystanders. (I wonder what the injury/death rate is for scooter drivers delivering flammables?)
Today we finally got around to some planning for the next couple weeks and spent most of the day relaxing as our sleep schedule still is in need of some tuning. I couldnt get the pictures to upload tonight but will try again later.
After blogging last night we went out on the town to see some more of the thai nightlife. We happened across a impromptu break dance performance from a group of young thai in the street. What followed amazed us.... from standing backflips to the balance moves these kids had amazing talent. Definitely the highlight of the trip so far! 
This thai kid couldnt have been more than 11 years old... killin it!
