Bangkok: lots of fresh water here...Iguana finally gets to shed some loose scales. As I approached BK from the ultra-modern airport, I thought, um mm-looks very much like Miami with multi colored hi-rise buildings, wide spotlessly clean boulevards canopied with banyan trees.
Best of all, my arrival wasn't marred by thousands of beggars constantly pawing and blocking my path. ; sidewalk sleepers were conspicuously absent also.
