Well, as an appetizer, those with inquiring minds can follow this link to see the first of my pictures. That guy is the tuk tuk driver, and he's standing on Khao Sarn Road, which is touristy cheese central in Bangkok. You can see all the shops that drench the road. I actually like that area, perhaps especially because it's fake and presentation oriented. In the driver's hand is the list of sight seeing places they badger you to go and see everytime you walk down the road. They say "Tuk tuk, tuk tuk, sir, where you go? where you go? tuk tuk now?"

I'll mess around more with the posting until I can get the photos posted directly into the Lair. Just had a lovely downpour, raining a lot now (guess that's why they call it the rainy season). Interestingly, it comes about now every night (7pm) and rains super heavily for about 20 mins. At least that's what it's done the last three nights. It's hot here, feels like 90, but I haven't checked.

cheers,

Starbase me lad, your a stranger in a strange land, and I think they have no idea what their letting themselves in for!

;^)

I remember the sights and sounds of oriental cities, bustling and congested, with a feeling of life all their own. I remember how at night, even the food carts had lights, and each street had its own character and smells. I'm looking for ward to more pictures, and memories. Thanks!
