One Night in Bangkok...

... Okay, it will be more like five nights in Bangkok. But one would be enough. Actually, I'm not hating it here as much as I did the first time. The traveller's ghetto of about Khao San Road is everything you would expect from a traveller's ghetto (hippie clothes, people wondering around with giant backpacks, bars the serve beer at eight AM) but it's pretty quiet after midnight and there's good (if pricey) food to be had. I'm hoping Bangkok will ease the transition to Chennai but I really doubt it. I just keep telling myself I can bail out to Australia or move up my flight to Israel if the subcontinent gets to be too much. The first world is a swipe of my Visa card away.

This video (if it works) is a sweep of Suan Luang where I spent the bulk of the last week doing ...nothing. It's more of a sitting and watching the ocean place than a go see the sights place or a scuba- and sky-diving place. I miss my bungalow.
