Michele's 2008 UK Diary

Thursday 3rd April 2008

Bangkok

"Life is lived on the streets babies are bathed food is consumed constantly cots tables chairs all crowd the footpaths, street vendors take up any spare space usually tending spitting woks or steaming couldrons with makeshift trestles groaning under the weight of any amazingly varied range of foodstuffs.There is obviously no space to walk so we walk on the edge of the road dodging the roaring tide of tuk tuks and scooters piled high with goods twice their size.we just saw a scooter carrying a new fridge in its box.The only jewellery I have seen is very yellow gold and in this heat, 40 degrees in the shade, I am not inclined to search out stones and not having the language puts me at too great a disadvantage ,so I will wait for the UK."
