I'm in Bangkok right now, staying with my friend Harry and his wife. He showed me a very nice little open-air restaurant near his place, and we had a fantastic Thai meal with his next-door neighbors.
Bangkok is as crazy as I remember...chaotic, gritty and hot, but with great people, great food and plenty to do.
Today I visited the Protestant Cemetery and the Jewish Cemetery, places filled with history and well off the beaten tourist track.
Tomorrow I plan to visit some wats.
I'll post pictures later...the Internet is really slow right now. I'll probably post them when I return to Taiwan.
