Asian culture has always intrigued me, but more so since I was exposed to the differences between Eastern and Western cultures during an intercultural communications class a little less than two years ago (wow, that a long sentence!). I am fascinated by their rituals and traditions, and would love to someday visit parts of Asia and witness these things first-hand. Bangkok, Thailand offers a mixture of the old and new, with Buddhist temples alongside modern skyscrapers. I read somewhere that it’s quite contradictory: a buzzing city with a laid-back attitude. Flights to Thailand are quite costly, it’s not like we can just hop a flight on a whim, but someday I do expect to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of this wonderful city.
