We had a 4 hour layover in Tokyo and I got about an hour nap in before the flight from Tokyo to Bangkok which was SIX hours. After an 11 hour flight from Chicago to Tokyo, none of us were excited about the 6 hour one. There were tons of Chinese and Japanese everywhere, and a little girl on a leash pulled her mom and dad (who took turns walking her) towards our group all the time. She seemed to take a liking to us Americans :)
Emily Cameron and I sat next to each other on the two super long flights. We were lucky since no one else on the trip got to sit together. So we got to know each other fairly well in 17 hours.
So we're at the Bangkok Christian Guesthouse. There is a Jesus Saves clock as you walk in. I still need to take a picture of it. But it was super cute at 4am. It's about 11am Friday here, and the group is meeting at 1pm to gather and do stuff. Alex and I are rooming together here. Last night, we were excited and trying to figure everything out. To turn on the lights in the room you have to put the key card in a slot by the light switch. And there is a water cooler with drinking water (since the tap water is sketch) in the lobby on every floor.
We went to go put the bottled water in the fridge, and fill up our cups with the drinking water, and when we walked back...the door was locked. :) Within an hour of being in Thailand, we had already gotten ourselves locked out of the room. So we had to go to the lobby and sheepishly converse with the hotel guys who spoke broken English, they were super nice though.
We woke up for breakfast around 8am here after getting a little less than 4 hours of sleep. The breakfast consisted of a sticky rice substance, yogurt, interesting cereals, toast, pear looking fruit that wasn't quite ripe ( I don't think ), and eggs that did not look like American boiled eggs. Alex was not pleased with them :) I stuck with things that couldn't possibly have peanuts in them, though they had egg dishes that looked pretty good. and they had TANG! Alex and I walked around outside for a few blocks after, and I realized I wasn't in Kansas anymore when I said excuse me to a lady and realized she had no idea what I just said.

When I was little, my mom put me (and the sibs) on a leash when we would go to the zoo or something. It hooke on our wrists. My mom quit using it because I would run around people and tie them up.
