Full circle

With local girls who took my photo (and wanted to be included)

I'm in Bangkok once again. This is where my trip started and this is where it ends. After six and a half months it's my last day. Tomorrow I'm going home.

All the chaos on the sidewalk: pedestrians, vendors, motorcycles

Yes, I'm excited to be going home. I miss my family. I'm looking forward to not having to live out of my backpack. To have a clean house to come home to.

Colorful traffic

And yes, I'm feeling a little sad that my adventure is over. Today I just wandered around Bangkok, trying to cram as much as I can into my memory. I bought one last freshly squeezed mandarin orange juice from a stall on the sidewalk, munched on one last pineapple and sour mango, ordered one last pad thai and enjoyed a final mango shake for dessert.

Freshly squeezed orange juice and fresh coconuts

Who knows when I might come back to Asia again. And I will definitely be back someday.

Here are a few of today's random scenes from the streets of Bangkok.

Dancing on the streets

There's always a McDonald's nearby

Frying something

Durian

Colorful stalls

Assorted meats

What will it be?
