Venice of the East, revisited.

In January, 1999, I returned to Bangkok for another XSL meeting. Unfortunately, I caught some sort of cold on my way there (damn recycled airplane air) and felt pretty miserable by the end of the week. Consequently, I didn't do as much site seeing as I would have liked, and I still haven't seen the things I missed the first time. Oh, well, c'est la vie.

The water tax is nearly the cheapest, fastest way around.

Great pictures again, I especially liked the one of the squirrel, nice cute picture and of course of the broom cart, didn't know a living could be made off of that, so much culture in that country.
