THAILAND!!

It's hard for me to imagine that only a few days ago, I found my Gmail inbox flooded with concerned emails from various concerned family members and friends. It's hard to imagine that only a few days ago I, too, was beginning to feel irrationally concerned about my impending trip to Thailand (i.e. I threw out all my red shirts).

But, I've made it safe and sound. So far, so good.

Moreover, as it turns out, Thailand really is indeed the land of smiles. In fact, I don't think I've seen so many smiles throughout the entirety of my twenty-three years of life. How can you be anything but happy here?? I know, I know--spoken like a true tourist...
