When did we go Wrong? Should we first blame our failure to maintain our social fabric or we lock them out of our society?

First Impressions

First impressions? Hot & humid like I’d never experienced before. It was busy and traffic was completely chaotic. The heat and humidity was oppressive … for me. This was going to take a while to get accustomed to. I couldn’t help but notice I was one of very few people affected by the weather. Again, this was a new kind of normal. And I can forget about vegemite on toast and whacking a few snags on the BBQ. There’s a 90 day course of tom yum goong, larb gai, curries, noodles, and rice headed my way. No complaint there, it’s a foodie’s heaven in Bangkok.
