Visa Run to Cambodia & A Relaxing Week

Last weekend I had to do a visa run to Cambodia to extend my visa for an extra 15 days, we were supposed to be in this nice tour bus with a 42inch flat screen playing english movies...well when we arrived at the meeting place at 4:40 in the MORNING there was no tour bus and no tv..just two small mini-vans :(
Thank the Lord that Lance was nice enough to come with me on the long 8 hour trip, because I was also the only girl!!   When we finally arrived at the border of Thailand it took only about 15mins to cross over to the Cambodia side, but once we were in Cambodia we had to go wait in a Casino for our paperwork for the visa's to be completed.  That took about 2hrs they had an alright buffet and air conditioning so it wasn't to bad.


Also, that same weekend Lance's boss came into town so we went and showed him around a bit.  We were on our way to The Grand Palace and when we almost get there our taxi driver tells us we might not be able to get back because of The Red Shirt Protest that would be going on till midnight.Red shirts.



Of course after we found that information out we had the taxi driver turn around and head to a Indian restaurant that his boss wanted to try.  This was my first time eating Indian food!
 Lance got a Banana Apple Smoothie
 Some type of yogurt drink it is supposed to help with the spiciness 
 I loved the way it was all presented
This was used to clean your hands when your done eating
 The had a candle lit in the bottom to keep the chicken curry hot
 This place also had a great view, it was on the top of the hotel
The pool that you could see from the view of the restaurant
 That week I went to lunch with Marloes and Angel at an Irish Pub I got the Fish and Chips
 Oh and on the way home this is what happened...it has been raining a lot here lately!!
The next day Me, Marloes, Angel, and Jamie went for a massage with a coconut scrub and oil massage a total of 2hr pure bliss!





The girls! Marloes, Me, Jamie, and Angel
 The also serve you breakfast 
 and Ice Cream at the end!
After our wonderful massages we headed to a 24hr American Diner yum!
I got the Hot Dog! 
Marloes got some yummy looking cheese fries which she had never had before and loved them!


 and on to the pool for a relaxing beautiful day!!

Clearly all I do in Bangkok is EAT!

This might be the most random and pointless post ever, but I feel like I haven't posted in a bit...
This whole blog is all about FOOD, it seems to be the only thing that I have been doing lately!

This was the yummiest & cheesiest French Onion soup I have ever had!
I found this yummy Cupcake place in the mall attached to our hotel called Cupcake Love.  They have the best cupcakes with tons of flavors.  This one is a brownie cupcake YUM!
All there shrimp here still have the head on them when they cook them as well as serving them...ugh...yuck



I did find some Gyros and Greek Salad which were both DELICIOUS


So I was attempting to try and start eating somewhat healthy (that lasted about two days)

So then I broke down and got something I knew Burger King!
So now moving on from the food here is just some random pictures....

This is where Lance has been doing Muay Thai with his friend Goof.

Watching the storms roll in from the 30th floor is a crazy sight
Oh and in the mall we saw a random wax Britney Spears...This things look creepily real

Sorry you guys for such a random post, I promise I will take more pictures and get
out and do some more stuff soon!
