a little more time to burn

got 20min left, so just want to note some things:

Signs in shop in chatukchak market:
- "Art is the lie that helps us to understand the truth" - Picasso
- "The sadness never goes away" - van Gogh's sucide note
- "I prayed to God, but the sky was empty" - Sylvia Plath
But they don't have shirts in ladies' sizes.. though most, if not all, of those are too small for me, and the men's are too big. So I'm stuck with the free size things.

Kanchanburi has street signs in the shape of a fish, and along a certain stretch they are named after countries who had POWs interned in the area. As diverse as Afganistan to Korea to some countries I've never heard of that sounds vaguely African or Middle Eastern. And of course there is a Singapore Road. I looked. And took a picture too. Unfortunately it's just a rather unassuming, nondescript lane.

Muay Thai fighters are all younger than me. Oldest I saw was only 22. Youngest looks 12, but I think he's 14. Very small sized. It looks painful, but elegant.

in Lumpini Park, an old thai chinese guy approached me. after some talking: "I go with you to boxing? I pay". of course i refused. After another while and more conversation: "after boxing you go home? Not going dancing? I take you. I pay." argh! and i thought he was just being nice at first. Now i know... "now you going to eat? I go with you?" ... "why not? give me one reason why not." I made myself scarce. It was a nice and very big park though. They even have a gym there with weights and all.

ok, out of time. ciao. =)
