Down Time

THAILAND | Saturday, 2 August 2008 | Views [593] | Comments [1]

Just been taking it easy in Bangkok. Hanging with friends. Drinking a beer or two. A foot massage. My stomach is doing great. Funny thing about that is I am thinking about going to Cambodia, Phnom Penh and my travel book says that 75% of street food thier has some sort of bacteria. I am going to say Laos is about the same. If I go to PP it will be food not from the streets.

I feel a 3 night 4 day trip to Cambodia will do. I been to Siem Reap and the temples are beautiful. I guess its time for the capitol city. The flight here is only about $70 US roundtrip. I have a few days to make up my mind.

Now that I am back Bangkok is oh! so loud compared to Vientiane. The sidewalks are 90% in good repair. Bangkok sidewalks require to much concentration, because a brick might be missing or loose. The loose one's are the worse to step on, the reason is there is usually water under it and it splashs all over your other leg. In Vientiane the Adult night life is there but not like Bangkok. In Bangkok depending on what bar you walk by the chorus of Hellllloooos come flying at you. My MP3 helps drown that out. Vientiane the women tend to be shy and only really talk to the men who give the signals. I have mentioned the Heat difference, boy I will not make that mistake again.

I hope the next time I write I will be in Cambodia.

Only 75% of street food have bacteria? What are the vendors of the bacterial-free food doing? Refrigeration? Ziplock baggies? Hairnets?

Be careful of salmonella-on-a-stick. It might sound temting, but I hear it'll give you a mean case of "Pol Pot's Revenge."
