Bangkok, October 30
Bangkok. Unique. Head throbbingly vibrant. Standstill traffic twelve hours a day, hundreds of motos and tuk-tuks fighting for that last inch of space to squeeze by. Pretty girls sitting side-saddle on motos, their feet just missing a car, a food stall or me. And then the rain. If Tokyo rains sideways, Bangkok pays no attention. It just rains straight down in long neverending sheets broken only by the all-too-close clap of thunder and sliver-thin bolts of lightning. The city simply moves, undulating. Nothing fancy, certainly nothing organized. The people move around ... or they don't. They cook anywhere and everywhere and eat in just about the same fashion. Nearly every street is a no-name street and where yesterday there was a food stall, today there is a t-shirt vendor or a streetside mechanic, all bathed in the harsh white-blue glow of flourescent tubes. Boats fill the river and with no median to separate them, they glide in every direction. Fast boats, longtails with oily black-brown clouds trailing them. Boats with peaked rooves bearing the flag of a fancy hotel. Water buses, the ticket woman shaking her silver change tubes making sure everyone pays the 30 cent fare.
