Our House

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street

- Madness (1982)

Green Transportation

The traffic in Bangkok is terrible. So we sometimes take these tuk tuks, which manage to bob and weave through all the congestion. Warning: If you have back or neck problems, a heart condition, are prone to motion sickness and/or are pregnant, this is probably not your preferred mode of transport in the city..

Never Say Cutz

This is usually my first stop whenever I come to Bangkok.
The barbers here are legit.

A steady hand with the clippers and a crisp line up with a
straight razor costs US$8.00, plus a dollar tip. Bargain.
They're on Sukhumvit 51.

Wasted Youth, Pt. 31

Arrived an hour late, but don't care too much - I'm in Bangkok! Sunny days and laying by the pool await!

Airline: Shanghai Airlines
Route: Shanghai - Bangkok

My Hood - The Trunk Sale

Back in the day, there used be this hustle, where a van would pull up next to you and a guy would excitedly say something to the effect of, "Bro! I got these top of the line home stereo speakers in the back here that weren't accounted for in our warehouse! I need to unload them quick, and for cheap!"

If you were dumb enough to get suckered into buying them, the speakers worked, but were in fact just some pieces of crap thrown together with parts from RadioShack (no offense, RadioShack), worth a fraction of the price you just paid..

Anyways, this "trunk sale" of frozen chickens kind of brought that to mind. Forget the fact that they're just dumped on the ground and you have no idea where they came from. What. Just rinse them off and they're good as new. Pick one off the top of the pile, they're fine!..
