Whadup PPL?
So I am finally in Southeast Asia. I'm still waiting to get on my last flight so I can get to my first destination, but I've flown from St. Louis to Chicago, then Chicago to Frankfurt on United. In Frankfurt I switched to Thai Airways. Now let me tell you a little bit about this airline. I hadn't flown it before, and it was absolutely fantastic because:
1. I was flying on one of the BIG Airbus A380's that they have (they only have three of those planes to my understanding and they are by far the biggest ones that Thai Airways have).
2. The interior of the airplane was beautiful, lots of pink and purple so it felt exotic.
3. The flight attendants were dress in Thai clothing and were very friendly.
4. The food was really good. Like really really good for economy class. Chicken with Eggplant in a green Thai curry sauce? Yum.
5. All alcohol was free.
6. All alcohol was free.

WHY CAN'T ANY OF THE AMERICAN AIRLINES DO THAT?!?!
Unfortunately due to the jetlag I was sleeping for a good amount so I didn't get to get fully inebriated but let me tell you, a free Bourbon and Coke will always taste good.
By the time I get to Burma I will have been traveling for 36 hours. I'm not too jet lagged at the moment, but it will hit me later. Its 9:15am here and I don't leave until 1:00pm, but good thing they give you a free hour of wifi at the airport.
Earlier when in Frankfurt, I decided to purchase a couple of things, aka food. I brought 20 Euros to the airport and got Bratwurst and Beer. Personally I think that was a wise decision, since I was in Germany for gods sake.
The only other thing that is worth noting is that I saw this Thai guy with a shirt that said "Playstation" and then under it was a very big arrow pointing downward.
And to that I say: Well played.
That's it for my update! I will be in Yangon in a few hours so I can't wait. The internet situation is Burma is pretty iffy so I do not know if I will have internet access there to update y'all on what I'm doing. If not, I will just update you guys when I get back to Bangkok. But until then, good life and happy travels!
