First days activities

Yesterday was a crazy day. We had booked a hostel for one night so when we woke up, we had to eat breakfast and lug all of our stuff to the next hostel. the funniest part is that the taxis here aren't big enough to carry our bags AND us in them, so we ended up having to strap our bags by bungee cords inside the trunks! we immediately said to ourselves, "lets find a place to live quickly so we dont have to do this anymore!" not to mention the fact that everyone was making fun of us for how big our bags were! After we got situated, we started walking to Kho San Road (its the touristy part) and found a guy in the mean time that was telling us all about how it was the one day a year that we could get a really really cheap tuk-tuk ride around the city and visit certain places for free (its some kind of government day/incentive). so he put us on a tuk-tuk and we went to 3 different statues/temples and several other places for 20 baht. 33 baht is 1 dollar, so we rode around the city and got to see some cool things for the whole afternoon on less than a dollar!!! What an adventurous way to start our trip! Today we are scouting out places to live.....wish us luck!
