Bangkok

This was so common on the streets. In fact every few feet there is someone selling something to eat. This is one option. Whole chickens hanging for who knows how long. But it's better than being totally raw like so much of it. You would just see piles of meat sitting in the 90 degree hot sunshine waiting for someone to ask for some. The other option at this man's booth, was whole fish that looked like they were flour coated. They were stuffed w/something.

This next picture is of a shrine/worship place of some sort. This was right at the mall where we ate the first night. I think I referred to it in my first post. It was about 9:30 ish at night and people were out on the streets, buying from food vendors (remember no FDA regulations here) so use your imagination to imagine the food and the conditions. buying from clothing vendors, and worshipping here. Kneeling on the concrete as people walked by around them. Placing food, flowers, you name it on or around these temples built w/human hands. Oh, if I had such open worship of Jesus in the public streets of America.






This was the view from our hotel room. This view is what all of Bangkok looked like. Everything, the buildings, are covered w/this black moldy substance. They all look to be falling apart, and filthy.
