I'm currently in Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand. I arrived in Bangkok yesterday and after some deliberating, I decided to head straight for Chiang Mai instead of spending the night in Bangkok. It was a tough decision, made harder by this girl I met from Calgary in the airport. She tried, unsuccessfully, to convince me to join her tour group, but when I discovered the hefty $2,200 price tag I declined. We exchanged email addresses, so we'll see if I meet up with her later (sorry no pic).
I'm still a little confused about what day it is, I probably should have looked into the whole time zone thing prior to leaving Canada; however time zones were the least of my concerns when I realized that Taipei was not in fact in Japan. Lucky for me Taiwan recently removed the visa requirement for entering the country!
Today I'm doing a little sightseeing on a nearby mountain (I use this term loosely), which has a temple and a zoo nearby followed by a 2 day trek up into the mountains tomorrow. I'll probably hang out in the city Friday and head to Phuket on Saturday.
Sorry, no drinking stories yet, I've kept it low key so far.
