More from Bangkok

I forgot to add two really funny stories from Bangkok.



The first was on the morning after we visited the grand palace, Torsten and I stumbled across a Thai man laying in the street. We watched as several people stepped over him, no one stopping to see if the man was okay. He looked a bit disheveled but to be completely honest, many of the Thai's look a bit disheveled. We stopped a women to ask her is he was okay. She took a look at him and said, he's probably fine... a few times we find one dead and he'll be there for a while, but this one just looks drunk.


Next was shopping. My friend Ainsley asked a store clerk for her size in a top. Ainsley is not large but any stretch but the women looked her up and down and said "you... extra large". Even despite my losing weight before the trip found myself in sizes 3 times larger than back home. I also has to resort to buying a man's shirt in order to get sleeves long enough.
