The last four days of Photo of the Day are being added retroactively since I had little desire to spend time on my computer while in Bangkok for the weekend. Due to the change in our schedule, as previously noted, I had four days off from Friday to Monday. Having been in Thailand for over five months now, it was about time I make a trip up to Bangkok to check out the city. The first goal I had for the trip was to prepare for my next four day off trip to BEIJING for the OLYMPICS!!! BOOYAAAH!!! I had to obtain a visa to get into China, which required that I have 1) a letter from the hostel I'm staying at in Beijing saying I had reservations, 2) proof of my flight in and out of China (strangely on Egypt Air, how does that make sense?), 3) two visa application forms with passport photos and 4) passport. So today's (well, Friday's) photo of the day is the Chinese visa that will make the trip possible:
After taking care of that business, Richard and I headed down to the Chao Praya River that runs through Bangkok to do some sightseeing. It was around 4 pm already, so I was just planning taking a boat ride to get a feel for the city, but we ended up checking out Wat Arun (which was awesome) and taking a longtailed boat ride through some Bangkok canals with a crazy Thai driver. I'll post the whole lot of photos later this week, but here's one from Friday. Wat Arun, the Temple of the Dawn...ironically, at dusk:
