Lauren and I have been enjoying Bangkok for a day and a half now (Bet will arrive tonight). We had corn cut off the cob with coconut for breakfast yesterday and today. Somewhere we found some delicious pasteries. Fortunately there are fresh fruit carts everywhere. There are carts and vendors lining the streets in most places. You have to walk around them everywhere you go. Hopefully as you do, you don't step on a loose brick, as they squirt dirty water onto your feet when you do. Yesterday was our first full day here and we just wandered around enjoying the process of eating most of the day. Last night went went out to the bars with some other folks from the hostel. The waitresses are forward and often looking for sex or looking to refer you to a sex show. Many people are trying to swindle you here. A common tactic is for a local to tell a tourist that X temple is closed for the day but he will show you to another...or you can buy his precious gems...the propositioning is by no means limited to sex.
We've some good people are going to have a blast.
