Its nice to see healthy competition in Bangkok. Groups of youngsters are always practicing their break dancing skills on the BTS walkways. And now they get a chance to show off their talents. There was a competition right in front of the Siam Discovery centre, where the teams square off with each other. Enough said, here’s the pictures!
Lately I’ve been feeling rather uninspired. Not only to blog, but also to go out to take photographs (besides those for work). Having overwhelming work does not help either. My last set of photos seem to be way back in July (during Nepal trip)!!
Any ideas on how to gain back some motivation to go out and shoot some nice pictures?
Thailand is hit quite bad with the latest swine flu (oops, suppose to say AH1N1 flu). The latest news is that 160 people has already succumbed fatally to this disease.
Just the word “global pandemic” has caused fear into so many people. Weird trends start to pop up…
Not only do everyday people try to wear the mask all the time (unsuccessfully, as sooner or later they partially pull it down to expose their nose to they can breathe better), but “fashion” masks are now the new trend.
The better way to actually prevent the disease is to avoid touching your face, and washing hands more frequently (wash for at least 30 seconds with soap). Hand sanitizers are being sold out everywhere. And many places, posh shopping malls included, provides free hand sanitizers.
Now you know things are getting out of hand, when every other commercial enterprise just want to get into this trend…
Airlines giving antiseptic towelettes!
Oh, by the way – here’s a story of an infection despite all the mask wearing (note how this story is just a small sub-story). Read more about the effect of the mask here. Remember, masks are more important when YOU are sick to prevent your germs spreading! What is more scary, is the NORMAL flu going around killing 250 x more people than swine flu. Beware!
Does this make you feel queasy?
No, your eyes has not gone wonky. The glass is made to be tilted. This is served up at one of the highest rooftop bars in Bangkok (63rd floor!). That’s why this place is called “Vertigo”.
Come only if you’re not afraid of heights. The sunset here is magnificent! Take a cab to the Banyan Tree hotel and see it for yourself. One of the must-see places in Bangkok.
