The journey begins...

Well, after flying about 23 hours, stopping in LA and Hong Kong (officially the coolest airport ever :), I'm here in Bangkok, where I'm staying with one of the other summer missionaries in the Baptist guesthouse (she's flying out tomorrow). I'll get to stay one more day here tomorrow to just hang out, shop, etc. before leaving for the missionaries' hometown 8 hours away in eastern Thailand. All my flights went smoothly with no interruptions; my biological clock is just a little off from the time change though...Wednesday never even existed for me! I enjoyed riding a motorcycle taxi for the first time (just hop on behind the driver and zip through all the crazy traffic!) and a tuk-tuk, which just has a cab hooked on the back of a motorcyle. It was great to have some good ol' McDonalds after that airplane food... Anyway, tonight I'll be meeting a young missionary couple (who live close to the Cobbs) and my summer missionary partner for the summer (Kendall), who will be the ones I'll ride with on Saturday to the Cobbs house. That's about all for now...thanks for reading and keep checkin up on it!

(In a Dwight voice-over jam) Way to go Hannah! Flying in the airplane! Walkin' through Hong Kong! Question: Did you go to the canal market? Also, watch out for the Thai Rak Thai. And flying white elephants.
