ok, so after thai school today, i go up the road to jusco and carrefour to do some shopping. don't normally go up there, but haven't been for a while, so i figure, what the heck.
shopping is noneventful, but i buy a case of chang beer - so have to take a taxi back home (i'd have to anyway, as the subway is closed this week due to the accident).
taxi takes me an hour and a half!
if there was no traffic, you could drive home from carrefour in 5, maybe 10 minutes. i've walked it in less than an hour.
the traffic lights kept stopping us for 15 minutes each time, and each time we stopped, around 170 motorbikes would pass us, weaving through the rows of stopped cars (i know it was 170 'cos i counted - nothing else to do)
and people wonder why i don't go out much!
