Off to Bangkok · 5:04am Jul 23rd, 2016
Sitting in the airport terminal now, waiting for the plane to board. I'll be back in about 10 days. Don't know if I'll have reliable access to Internet (or any access to Internet) in Bangkok, so in case I don't--see you all later!
What is your job that you get to go to all these exotic locals?
4107924 : This is a vacation, actually. No work for the next week. :-)
I'm in academia, and my recent trip to China was for an academic conference and to touch base with potential collaborators at a university in that area. But this trip is just because I really want to see Bangkok and I had some vacation time saved up. :-)
Careful. I hear that place makes tough guys tumble.
4107998 that's only one night in Bangkok, though. He should be fine.

True, but I bet he will still come back humble.

"Fun" fact, that song is banned in Thailand. You will suffer consequences if you sing it; I remember someone getting caned, at least. It's due to the negative things that the American sings about the city; I think the Thai authorities missed the fact that the dude singing it was explicitly supposed to be an asshole.
