One of the amazing things about this city is that you are constantly bombarded by so many surreal sites. Here are just a few examples as of late: (I wish I had some pictures but the moments are fleeting. Someone should invent some sort of camera embedded in our brains that we can then plug into a computer and share the images.)
1) Walking into a bar in downtown Bangkok, past hundreds of prostitutes and a vendor cart heaped with fried insects. Then walking out of the bar 45 minutes later and instead of a bug vendor, there is a full size elephant and his mahout.
2) Motorcycle taxi driver sleeping (in rush hour traffic no less) with his head on bike, butt on a plastic stool, feet on a table.
3) Beggars with no arms or no legs, pulling them selves down the dirty, uneven, garbage-strewn sidewalk.
