It's not goodbye, just see ya later!

My last day in Thailand went pretty well. I started the day off bright and early and went to a floating market. I once again felt like I was a adopted kid no one cared about because I was passed off to different vans before finding the right one who wanted the solo traveler. Perfect. So after our hour and a half drive we made it and drove around on a long tail speed boat. It was like walking down a normal market except on a boat, the vendors still yelled at you to buy their souvenirs. I enjoyed it though, it was cool and there were plenty of boats selling food and produce which was interesting. After my tour I walked around a bit and stumbled upon two baby elephants! They had some owners of course but they were so cute and the baby elephant grabbed a bag of whatever it was their owners had to feed them and passed me it. She/he was so cute I couldn't resist buying a bag and feeding it. I loved every second of it, probably one of my most favorite moments of my trip! I love elephants. After I went to a cobra show and it was amazing. They showed how dangerous the python is, I never knew its teeth were so sharp. Also they demonstrated how the mongoose is a danger to snakes, he kills them and eats them. Finally for the finale they had one man vs. 3 poisonous snakes. I can't remember what their names were but they were striped black and yellow and just looked straight up dangerous. He caught two with his hands and one with his mouth! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, I hate snakes. I was worried one would get bored with the show and slither over to the wall and climb over. Thankfully that didn't happen.

It's now 330 in the morning and I am going to grab some food and weigh my bag. Oh oh. Its madness, the music is still pumping and drunks are stumbling throughout the streets. The morning I arrived, at 5 am, people were still partying. No one sleeps until the sun comes up. I am sad to leave my adventure here in Asia, although it isn't quite done yet. I have to make my forty minute layover in Tokyo! Going to be an interesting day, if I don't sleep until I get home it will make for over 24 hours awake. Hopefully I make the layover and all goes well and the airplane food is decent..
