• 0:46
  Speaker 1: from two weeks away. And thank you so much for
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the welcoming because you guys were awesome and It was
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: like the first day of school here because they're doing
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: construction in our lobby in the building. And I didn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: know where to go. You guys were dealing with it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So you guided me in today.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: We caught up.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I know. No, it's great. I loved following your stories
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: because you were in places of the world that some
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of us only can dream about seeing. It was amazing.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And it did look like a dream come true kind
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of vacation. I mean, it looked incredible.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And I want to thank my wife because she was
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the travel agent. And I could never book a trip
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: like this on my own. I wouldn't know what to do.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But again, to sum it all up, it's hard to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: sum up this vacation in just a minute or two. Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But real quick, we went to Phuket, Thailand. That's where
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we were the most. And I finally said it right.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I think before I went on vacation, I said Phuket.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Phuket.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Because it has a PH.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Some of it you can't.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I was getting real close. It is Phuket.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We were there for like six, seven days. And then
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I said six, seven. And then Bangkok for three days.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And then we spent a day in Tokyo. Okay. where
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we got to see my wife's side of the family,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: which we really haven't seen.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: That is so nice.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Her aunt, her cousin lived there. And the kids got
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to meet them, and they were just so nice.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: That's incredible.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: My wife speaks Japanese more than I do, but there
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: was still a little bit of a language barrier. So
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I was using my Translate.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: App to communicate with the family.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: But they were just so awesome. And we went to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of stores, and they were like, no, we
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: want to buy Naomi and Miles this. Oh, how sweet.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Just so, so kind. And we had great weather, Christine.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We were there during the rainy season. Thailand is known
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: for really rainy times, July, August, September. We got a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: couple of showers here and there, but the weather app
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: made it look like it was going to rain all day. 90%
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: chance of rain every day. We had some really beautiful days.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And the people were just so nice. I mean, you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: walk around and they do the bow and the real quick,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the prayer thing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Hi, welcome and goodbye.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was just so nice.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And I saw a capybara. That's the animal that I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: didn't know who it was. Right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And I messaged you and I'm like, what's that? Because,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you know, I love animals, too. And I was fascinated.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of a capybara, Kristen? Yes or no? Okay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have not heard of a capybaras
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: or a capybara.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But apparently, Cubby, just FYI, they're making the rounds on Instagram.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They're becoming very popular, these guys.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: People like watching them.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yes. So this was in Thailand. We were in Bangkok.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And they were the world's largest rodent. It's basically a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: giant mellow guinea pig and they're native to South America,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but they live in Thailand and they live near rivers
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and ponds and marshes. And you've been to like a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: cat cafe before. This was a capybaras cafe.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We got to feed them and the kids got to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: have a smoothie and I had some coffee.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You had coffee with them.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there chilling and they're hanging next to you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You can pet them and they're super nice and they're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: patient and so sweet but as i was petting and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: i'm like that's a big rat really at the end
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And it's you know but it's sweet but yeah it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and maybe rats are for all we know we don't
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: hang out with them in cafes how is the coffee
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: by the way oh excellent i thought i have to
• 3:59

• 4:22
  Speaker 2: study this morning. Did you hear about this? Like the cities,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the best cities in the world for nightlife? Bangkok is
• 4:28

  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys, you know, you were with,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you were doing the family thing, so.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I could feel the vibe of it for sure. Obviously
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: we were in bed with the kids like around eight
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: o'clock each night.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That's me, like, and there's no kids, but yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: The thing I like about Bangkok and Singapore and also Phuket,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the sunrise and sunset is the same time every day
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and it's all year round. Oh. It's 6.30 sunrise, 6.30
