We’re still on the moving walkways and making our way through Suvarnabhumi Airport. It’s a great place, so far, but very crowded. I feel like we’re going through the entire airport. I can’tBaca selengkapnya

Still Walking
2 November 2024, Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 88 °F
Normally, I don’t see as many people on these moving walkways as I do here. I’m thinking that’s because the distances in this airport are so far apart. How much further is it to immigration andBaca selengkapnya

Grab

A River Runs Through It

It must be so nice to have a river running through your city. The only other city I’ve been to, so far, that had this was Chicago. I think that I’d like something similar to this back home.
