Aloha all! Well it's been a very interesting few days here. After my harrowing experience in Koh Samui, I had taken a bus to Bangkok. On the journey, I ran into a German man who claimed to be very wealthy and he invited me to crash at his pad when we got to Bangkok. Since I was lonely and hurt (physically that is) I decided that this may be a good idea. However throughout the evening on the bus I overheard several of his conversations, and his careers kept switching from real estate developer to furniture sales to...even once, claiming he was a police officer. So obviously red flags went up! However, he invited to other Canadian girls to help find where they needed to go, so being chivalrous as I am, I decided to join to make sure that they were allright. After taking on us on a bit of a roundabout route, we all ended up at his "apartment" which was sketchy! I had talked to one of the girls however, and formulated a plan. We all got out of there, I conviently used an excuse that we knew of a mutual friend in town that I had to go see, and off I went through Bangkok again.

So with that out of the way I had decided that it was time to get the hell out of Thailand. My foot kept aching more and more, so it was a matter of finding a flight home. Since JAL and my travel agent screwed me around, I ended up having to buy a flight home with China Airlines. Let me tell you all, organizing a flight on 4 hours of sleep and then sleeping in a ghetto with a busted foot pushed me to my limit.

I am home now, and the doctor has said that I have a spiral fracture on the bone connecting my middle toe on my left foot. I'm stuck wearing a air cast (for those who remember my sprained ankle) for the next 2-4 weeks. Such is life.

Thailand was a very unique experience and I can't wait to share my stories with you all. Call me or e-mail me, because now the rest of my summer is free and I'm looking for fun interesting things to do!
