One Night in Bangkok

After arriving in Bangkok at 8:30 pm Thai time, we very smoothly went through customs, got our luggage and caught a taxi to our hotel. I told Katie it seemed easier than doing the same thing in Dallas, TX.

The taxi ride has been our biggest adventure so far; since the price is regulated by the government, you make more profit by doing more runs, so we had a SPEEDY ride, and let's just say if you think I'm a side-seat driver in West GA, you wouldn't believe how many times I put on the brakes in the back seat.

Motor scooters and riding in the back of a truck are very popular here. We even saw an entire family (mother, father, kid) on scooter.

We checked in about 10pm, slept through the night, and I woke up about 4:30am.

We've had a great breakfast and spent a lot of time talking this morning about missions, including what we think the Lord has planned for us here and what He wants to do at Peachtree in 2008.

It is 11:30 am Sat now here (I think it's 11:30pm Fri night in Atlanta), and we're getting ready to go to the airport to fly on to meet our friend. It will be so great to see her after two years. We are bringing greetings from all of you.

I'm writing this from the business center in the hotel, and hope to post some pictures at our next stop.

Thank you, Peachtree, for all your prayers this week. Hope you guys have a GREAT Sunday, and we are praying for you!

P.S. What does that song "One Night in Bangkok" mean?
