Over the last week or so I had become a machine...I had learned to successfully ignore just about anything and/or anyone...noises in the hostel, no problem. The smell of traffic, don't notice a thing. The millions of people trying to sell me something - I wouldn't even talk to em.
But on my last night in Thailand I wanted to remember what it was like seeing Bangkok for the first time. So I slowed my stride for a bit (helped in part by the fact that my right achilles had been bugging me the whole day) and tried to take it all in.
It wasn't easy - Bangkok bombards each and every sense...it's like Buenos Aires, NYC, and Tokyo all rolled into one (and I can't believe I've been lucky enough to visit each of those cities). It's not a pretty city by any means...but there's still something about it that already makes me want to come back again.
Gotta go pick up my bags before the storage place closes. My plane leaves for Delhi in a few hours :) Unfortunately it leaves a little past 2am :(
