Back in Bangkok

Wat Phra Kaew

Back in Bangkok for the second and third group games of the Asian Cup. Unfortunately Australia are not fairing very well so we might move on shall we?

Bangkok is an experiance and a half. It is smoggy, dirty and it smells but then again that can be said for any bog city. The Skytrain is a good way to escape all this, if for only a short time.

After a while you get used to taxi drivers beeping at you for a fare as if nobody walks anywhere in Bangkok and the Tuk Tuk drivers calling out "Tuk Tuk?" at you as you walk past. And then of course every 5 metres is a Massage parlour (some with happy endings) where girls out the front will call out "Maaasssaaaggee?" as you walk past.

And walking around at night is even more amazing with the litterally thousands of prositutues lining nearly every street in Bangkok! One alley we walked up was so quiet we had about twenty-five girls run out and nearly rip our clothes off us in the street! What an experience that was.

Game against Thailand tonight should be much more exciting. Since we are playing the home nation some people might actually turn p to the game!
