How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I have only traveled from Singapore to Bangkok so far, but there is much more to come!

How did I get around this week?:

Getting around usually involves plenty of walking. However, if you need to get further than you can comfortably walk, there is always a bus or subway nearby. In time-sensitive situations, you can also get a Grab, which is like Uber. Some places have Grab bikes, where you can ride on the back of a motorcycle. It's super fun for distances under 20 minutes or so!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

This week, I visited the Chinatown night market in Bangkok. This week being the week of Chinese New Year, it was PACKED. It was one of the most chaotic but fun things I can remember doing. There were so many people and lights, and so much noise everywhere. A night market mainly consists of a bunch of vendors selling everything you can think of on the side of the road--at night, of course! Some available things are souvenirs, all types of food, clothing, SIM cards, you name it. The food, which was my main interest, was amazing!
