I just wanted to check in and let you know everything is amazing here in Bangkok. Our hostel, which runs for US$10/ night is amazing. It's rated the 17th best hostel in the world and it truly lives up. The accommodations are great.
Today, Megan, a pre-med student like me, and I went with the UVA Med students and residents to the largest hospital in Thailand for an 8 hour tour of... everything! It was INCREDIBLE to see this in a country so far from home. I think it was one of the most amazing days for me so far. Seeing an emergency room in Thailand (I work as an ER Scribe at home in the US) was such a unique moment for me, I loved it. We hung out with a few of the students yesterday night, and so far have deemed Bangkok the craziest nightlife in the world. If you need further evidence, you can email me directly, I'm not going to publish what I mean publicly :-).
Finally, tonight I got a true Thai Massage. I hate massages. Genuinely, I dislike them. This massage was so frickin wonderful. They literally walk on you and twist you up and come very close to beating the crap out of you, but it feels 10 times better than any massage I've ever had (including the Turkish bath with the 300 pound hairy man). I'm going back for another massage tomorrow. It's so cheap and so worth it.
Alright that's it for the updates!
Love from SouthEast Asia!!
