  With the end of our time in Bangkok approaching quickly, we need to wrap up any remaining contacts encountered, as well as any cultural pictures not yet published.

Bangkok was way outside of our comfort zone, or so we thought upon our arrival. Yet, adjustment to the cultural differences here were not as difficult as envisioned, in part due to the politeness and friendliness of the Thai people. While we did try to learn a few basic Thai phrases, English was quite prevalent, which made it easier to get directions. The ubiquitous street venders, selling everything from various Thai foods, sandals, electronics, clothing, toys, etc.,added a flavor to our visit here that will not be soon forgotten....And we continued to meet many wonderful people from around the world.
