Fashion Slow Lane!

After a crazy hectic trip to smoggy Tianjin/Beijing, China I was thrilled to arrive in Bangkok.   Thailand has always been my second home.   Today we went to Wat Po (Famous Reclining Buddha) and Wat Arun.   We are staying at the Sala Rattanakosin which is a small boutique hotel on the river with amazing views of Wat Arun.   Tonight we had dinner with my friend, Joe Cummings   www.joecummings.com  a well known American expat in the music/author sphere who now resides full time in Bangkok.  He took us to a local Thai restaurant and the waiter asked if we were movie stars.  Funny!  Now I have to tackle my jetlag!

When I first started traveling around the globe during college, I decided I wanted to be a travel writer.  I thought it would be cool to just travel around and write about my experiences!  So I asked a well known writer, Joe Cummings if I could assist him as a travel writer.  A few years later he contacted me from Thailand and said he needed help.  I was already living in Phuket, Thailand at that time, so I quit my job at a resort in Phuket and moved to Chiang Mai to start work as a travel writer assistant.  Basically I just went from village to village all around Thailand and Laos checking up on the things in the guide book that needed to be updated.  It was exhausting, dirty work but I enjoyed the ride.   After I was done with the gig, I knew it was not something I wanted to do for a living.  I had worn the same clothes for six months and had been in and outside of enough flea infested bedbug hotels to last me a life time..but what a ride it was...
