I think its April 8th, but is almost midnight so it may be the 9th.

This leg of the flight was decidely less comfortable.  Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo to Bangkok is on an older 747 that is comparably more cramped than the AA 777 I was just on, but at least I have the whole row to myself.  There was a wicked storm in Tokyo so most flights were delayed.   This one wasn’t but we had to wait in line for takeoff for 45 minutes.  I slept a few hours but nothing substantial.  I’m going to pass out tonight.

Going to and from Tokyo was someof the worst turbulence I’ve ever felt.

Its wierd hearing this long dialogue in Japanese over the PA and thenthe English translation is something short and sweet like “Thank You.”  I feel like I’m missing something.  7 out of 10 Japan Air flight attendents are babes!

Arrived in Bangkok

The airport in Bangkok is brand new and super nice, but even at 2am or whatever time it is, it is chaotic.  Had my first Thai beer (Singha)  at the hostel bar while the local cops watched a bad version of Die Hard 4.  For some reason the movies are in English with English subtitles but they subtitles are no where near what is really being said. 

My room has no Air-Con, b/c I checked in so late, but thats no big deal really. Its hot but I can take it.  They’ll switch me to Air-con tomorrow if I want it.  Tons of dogs, all over the city, during the day they just wander around, at night they go back to their yard, and just scare the piss out of you when you walk by at night.

Bangkok is overwhelming to the senses. My first impression is mixed, but its mostly exciting.  Hard to tell this late at night.

I just realized I have no idea who won the NCAA tourney.  Tv only has 4 soccer matches and the BBC.

Finally getting sleepy, still not sure what time or day it is….
