Outrageously pink taxis

Bangkok, Thailand
Friday, December 18, 2009

Okay, in my first 2 days in Bangkok I have only seen one stretch of road: that which leads from our hotel to the hospital--and back again. I guess it's not too surprising that my first major impression of this city is the traffic. Wow. From our hotel window I can see the cars sitting on the highways during rush hour. Ironically, it's safer to cross the street during rush hour because the cars don't actually move. But it's the pink taxis which really stand out. They come in a variety of other electric colors as well...
