"Bangkok, Thailand" ?Posted by devon on Wednesday, January 14, 2004
I love cities.
I feel comfortable in them like i dont feel comfortable anywhere else in the world. Also the fact that things are rediculously cheap compared to the rest of the country (read 15 cents for a coke rather than 25), and there is no limit to the beautiful places to see in the city make it nice. I took a boat ferry down the central river in Bangkok, and I couldnt help but notice the similarity to the Thames in London. The exception was there was Bhuddest temples erupting on the banks and the boats had pointy roofs. I came to the conclusion that somebody tossed a whole bunch of chilli powder into the themes and then moved it here and called it Bangkok, or Krung Thep as the locals say.
I'm living like a roman in my hostel as well, three movies a day, cheap food, little laying cushions for you to sleep and eat on. ohhhh..
Will do a full update tommorow with my pictures. I ended up going down to pat pong, the imfamous red light district here in Bangkok and saw things no little boy like me should see.
God I'm not going to be a teenager in around 19 days. What a shocker.
Till tommorow.
