I made it!

Well, it looked sketchey for a while and I thought that I might not get through it, but I came out on top and am now sitting in my hostel. It was so stressful at the airport between the currency exchange and trying to figure out which train to take and how to get tickets, but once I was actually on the train, I realized that it's not that much different than New York.

The streets are so different here. I've only seen a few blocks of the city so far, but I've already seen 2 people busking. I don't think that either of them had permits, so I think that it looks hopeful.

I'm staying at the Auberge Internationale des Jeunes. I'll be bunking with 4 other guys, so hopefully I'll meet someone to do some traveling with. It's in an old building, with an even older basement. I wonder when it was built. They keep our luggage down there, locked away (I can't have my violin stolen from me.)

I'll be going out a little later after some dinner to see if I can't find my first pitch. Wish me luck.

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of grub you can dig up in this town...

Thai food, no doubt.
