salaam
well we've made it to bangkok safe, sound, and in one piece...alhamdulillah. so after camping out in the airport for a good 40 minutes to an hour trying to get our combined 90 pounds of "life's necessities" repacked...we finally ventured out into the humid, open air of bangkok. first impression...it's a lot more modern than i had anticipated. second impression...traffic lights and turn signals to be damned out here, it's GFS (go for self) all the way baby. third impression...after trekking a short distance from the bus drop off point to this internet cafe on Khao San Road, with 50 pounds of "comfort" slung across my back like a pack mule, i find myself wondering "are underwear and socks really that necessary?" i mean how many pairs do we really need to survive anyway? 7? 3? none? could we get by with some duct tape and a washcloth? i'll let you decide...well it's started to rain and at the moment we don't have any secure lodging...so rather than pitching our tent in a back alley somewhere, i'd better get off this computer and find some shelter. until the next time...

Salaam,
Dude, you gotta keep your socks. Your feet will get wet and then rot. What you do is, you wear two pair, one on the outside is dry, then you switch them out, put the wet ones on the outside so they can dry. Do this in hot climates when you walk alot, so's not to get blisters and such.
Ramadhan Mubadak!
