you know, one of the most easy jobs in thailand has go tto be on televission, the traffic reporter, all he has to do is give the caualty report and all is done for him....corssing the street in this place is akin to taking your life into your own hands, oh sure its not that they speed, you cannot speed in bangkok, its impossable, say, 30 miles an hour is as fast as your gonna go on any street, the highway is another matter. the street congestion is amazing...really, i want to set up my webcam on a corner to show you what i mean. between the tuk tuks( three wheeled taxi's) the scooters, motocycles and the taxi's not to mention the delivery trucks of all shapes and sizes, its amazing anything moves here...there are no amublances here, there are no speeking police cars, your hurt, dieing, its up to you to find a cab, otherwise your on your own....these people drive like europians form lines. Its a small matter of personal safety crossing the street when everyone here thinks that if they die..they will be back shortly as a cat or dog..i am having a wonderfull time, going to the country side today with roongs family, i will take alof of pictures and enjoy myself with some nice food, clean air, and, if there is any god at all, the sdrive will be safe...
