finally got into bangkok after >24hrs of travel
just some random thoughts:
- new BKK airport sorta looks like CDG with glass/cement tubular structures
- the weather right now borders between hot&humid and raining cats and dogs...
- speaking of which, not as many dogs in the streets as I remembered in 2002
- food is just as cheap (and as good) as I remembered. (wait a minute, maybe that wasn't the best observation following the previous one)
- iPhone is popular here as well. The iPod knockoffs are really obvious.
- why is it that asian people love pens and pencils? I dunno but I got my 0.4mm blue and black gel ink pens!
- Samijevit Hospital (where Tisha is "working") = opulent. There are marble floors, spiral staircases, expansive waiting areas with new chairs and couches, free bottled water. It even has a Starbucks and Au Bon Pain inside. Valets parking the BMWs and Benzes. This hospital is of course a private hospital and caters to affluent Thais and a lot of Japanese nationals. I wonder if the quality of medical care matches the ridiculously nice appearance.
