I feel like I have to blog this picture as although we'd seen some really cool things in Bangkok like 20 foot Buddhas made out of solid gold and beautiful temples, the canals of Bangkok were an absolute highlight!! They are so much fun.. We basically used the canal boats to travel to and from the business parts of the city where the Canadian Embassy (for Martin) and the Chinese Embassy (for our travel visas) were located. The experience was just crazy. We would scramble alongside the locals in the limited time we were allowed to hop on the boats, trying our best to not fall in the water below. On our journeys we would always want to look at the view of the city and see how people along the canals really lived, but the boats would drive really fast creating huge wakes, and we soon discovered what the obtrusive tarps on the side of the boat were really for: protection from the huge sprays of disgusting, chocolate-brown water!! But even so in my opinion - this is the only way to travel in Bangkok! * Mush
