Observations of life in Bangkok on the first day.....

The place where I am putting up is within the university campus. The University is centrally located with the financial district running parallel to it. Crossing roads here are a bit like India. The cars don't seem to wait for anyone. One just has to take the chance and cross it. Other than buses and the sky train, the most common means of transporation is the 'tuk tuk', which is a modified auto rickshaw, with a larger seating capacity. The streets are relatively clean, lined with trees.

The youth are quite fashionable...mostly with punk hairdos, earrings and coloured hair in mohawk style!!! Many a times, its difficult differentiating between a boy and a girl..truly unisex clothing is the fashion statement here!!!

Will update on the observations....
