Apologies for being out of touch, guys. I've been running around Bangkok, trying to see the sights but mostly getting jipped and stranded and perfecting my haggling skills. I have learnt how little there is to do in this city, and I'm still unsure if it's a Bangkok thing or a function of third world metropolises. Bangkok's urban geography is comparable to Seattle's in some ways, though perhaps that's my subconscious homesickness. Weighing in at roughly 10 million (metro area), Bangkok's characteristic community districts and disjointed streets are more in the Seattle fashion. And for its size, Bangkok's sprawl is quite comfortable (as nondescript the term may be for my leisure here). It doesn't follow the model of Southeast Asian boomtowns like Singapore, Manila, and Bangalore, which is where you'll hear next from me.
There's a lot I have to say about my stay here, but unfortunately I don't have much time before my flight. My camera has been doing wonky things, but once I get the time to upload them to proper albums, I will be captioning my photos with details. Hopefully that'll be sooner than later.
If any of you have recommendations for photo galleries I should use, comment below -- I've got lots to show you all!

love the geeky blog title :)
ReplyDeletefor hosting photos, go for google picasa .. they don give u hellalotta space .. but it is damn neat!
It doesn't matter if you don't have a lot to say, even little posts like this are awesome. Keep 'em coming! Also, I'm pretty fond of Flickr when it comes to uploading photos, but then again I've never tried Picasa.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with Flickr is when you're on a trip and have a LOT to upload it's too easy to run into their monthly limit.
ReplyDeleteI would go with Picasa.
If you find you prefer Flickr for uploads, let me know and I will BUY YOU AN ACCOUNT! Because I am a vehement supporter of international education AND photography!!!

I think it's more the fact that it seems to be terribly difficult to get pictures uploaded off other devices that aren't my camera, heh. I do prefer Flickr, but I have most of my originals (for now anyway), so hopefully I'll be able to re-add and edit them when I return to the States. :)
