Hello Awesome everybody!!!
Rachael and Micah again. That was awesome, we just checked my inbox after not using the internet for quite some time and we had something like 25 new emails. thanks everybody for writing back, it is great to hear what yalls up to.
I was really glad to see that anyone had actually read the last email as after sending it i felt kind of bad. I know exactly what it is like to get messages from friends and family boasting about how much dam fun their having traveling while you read the email at work and think, 'those bastards'. Yes i did say bastards, i know this email is going to a variety of age groups and that maybe the word 'bastard' is not entirely approprate but what the hell, yes i said hell, i cant help my self, that is how my mind thinks. (if you dont like it you'll have to write to my parents and consult them about my unruly upbringing, the'll love that) I actually tried erasing the word bastard and yes the word hell as whell and replacing them with words like baddies and heck but it just sounds like shit when i do that, so bastards, hell and shit it is.
Back to it...i was saying i felt bad writing my last email. Today i tried thinking about how to fix that, should i write an email, down playing just how much fun we are having, should i lie and say Rachael got her leg removed after getting gang-green and that last night we were robbed at gun point, not to mention the melaria. Hum...naa that really wouldn't be right, i'd be lying and swaring at the same time. Instead i've decided i'm gunna tell it just how it is and if you don't lik it ...well then you can go online and order a guide book to Thailand your self and get your ars over here!!
The little of southeast asia we've seen so far is amazing, the people are the friendliest on the plant, the food is utterly amazing and conviently it is guitfully cheap, almost to cheap. You can eat for $1 a meal and get hour messages on the beach for $5. Wooooooo
Right now wé are sitting in a park on the edge of the major water way through the city of Bangkok at dusk. Relaxing on a park bench watching the most rediculous display of arobics you have ever seen. The instructor, a young man, looks like a jumping bean on speed while 40 mothers struggle to mimic even a single one of his eratic moves. It is so funny i've just jumped up and taken a video clip i'll try and attach to this email. (this is a journal excert so obviously the term 'right now' which the paragraph begins with is actually a different right now then you may be living, Right Now.) ha
After spending 2 weeks on Thailands southern islands we made our way back north to Bankok, 5 days there getting our visas for Vietnam and now we are in Cambodia. Spent our first night in Battembang, a town close to the Thai boarder. At first we were like...ewww...it is so dirty and dusty and poor and everyone looks like they are struggling, what have we gotten oursleves into, maybe we should have skipped this country. But the next day we rented a motorbike and headed our into the country side, puttering down country roads sourounded by farms, farmers and Huge Smiles. It was beautiful, the dirt and dust were gone and people didnt' look so poor, they were just happy farmers living off the land like thed been doing for the past couple thousand years. Randomly we turned down a dirt track following the edge of the river. It wasn't a road but we saw another motorbike drive down it so we figured we check it out. Rachael insisted it wasn't going to take us where we wanted to go and that we were going to end up in someones back...
(TO BE CONTINUED)
Thanks again to everyone who wrote back, it made our day
Love Rachael and Micah!!!
