Expedition

A couple weeks ago, we were able to take a few days break in Bangkok!  We had some medical appointments, but also met up with my good friend, Julie and her friend Karen!  (Who is now our friend too. :) )  Julie was my roommate over 10 years ago when I lived in Russia.  She was working on Mercy Ships in Madagascar and was travelling around SE Asia.  We had a great time in Bangkok together!

Bangkok, although only a 1-hour flight from Yangon, is so much different than Yangon.  It's much more advanced and developed, bustling with shopping and food and entertainment.  I had a great time in Bangkok, but to be honest, I missed the simple life in Yangon.

One great thing about Bangkok, though, is the food!  They have every American chain imaginable.  I was in heaven! :)  Had amazing pizza to quench my cravings for a while.  I was just a tad excited about that.

But, even after all that, we are happy to be back in Yangon, the simple life, not as crazy as Bangkok.
