The Trek Home


In the end it was really hard to leave Thailand. I loved the people, the food, and the beautiful beaches. I fell in love with the the scenery and relaxed atmostphere of Tonsai beach.. my last stop in Thailand... a true backpackers paradise. There was no electricity on the beach during the day... no atms. If you didn't have money to pay a restaraunt, you could tell them you'd pay them back later. the Tai people living ther were complete hippies. I loved it. But I did leave one night earlier to spend a night in Bangkok so I could finally meet up with my German friend that was living there. I got a facial and a massage before I left.. and 4 flights later I was back in Spain- Bangkok, Thailand- Doha, Qatar- Istanbul, Turkey- Prauge, Czech Republic- Madrid, Spain.. I think it's taken me almost 2 days, but I went back in time, so it's kind of confusing. They announced it's Ramadan in Qatar and in Turkey.. no eating, drinking, or smoking during daylight hours. I've eaten 5 meals on the plane. I really don't mind flight food, but 5 is a little too much. I ate a bean burger in Turkey at Burger King that cost $12. I feel like Turkey should be cheaper than it is. My bag broke somewhere in between Bangkok and Istanbul.. and my friends were expecting me a day later than I showed up. I got to Madrid confused, cold and tired.. but made it. Now the question is.. now what do I do with my life?
