Random rant #32 (nonconsecutive)

(copied from buzz, but not transliterated)

Its all the little things out here that are so very strange...The bus only kinda stops, so you have to run to it...the air conditioned one is 16 baht, the other one is sometimes free and sometimes not (no I have not figured out why, or how to predict). either way, I am likely to get steped on in places that I didn't think it was possible.
moterbikes are amazingly awesome. they do not obay the laws of traffic...or physics sometimes. if I take one, it will take about 15 mins to get to school. If I do not it will take 40. Today it took 70, but it was raining.
Thai time is kinda like almost time...it runs whenever it feels like it, possibly relitive to the sun. Logic is not...
and how did this road get over there....
Sometimes I feel like I'm in Thailand, sometimes the slums of Detroit, and sometimes the best resort in Arizona.
Welcome to Bangkok, please leave your sanity at the door.

--- additional note --- Now I have taken the boat. Its close to the school, but not so close to home. It is on a river, and its wet, and smells kinda funny, and its way awesome. ---

  1. I wish I could take a motorcycle taxi to work. That would rock.
