Event Horizon

Our next stop was the Bud­dhist tem­ple fre­quented by our cab dri­ver and his fam­ily. This sur­pris­ingly small but sim­ply styled struc­ture, which would oth­er­wise never have struck me as a tem­ple, was not, accord­ing to our cabby, a place … Con­tinue read­ing

Game of Charades

Next, we were approached by a cab dri­ver who, in bro­ken Eng­lish, offered to drive us wher­ever we wanted to go, through­out the remain­der of the day, for the pal­try sum of ten dol­lars. “Trust,“ he pleaded with heart­felt sin­cer­ity. … Con­tinue read­ing

Dropped off on the edge of one of the Bangkok’s wealth­ier bor­oughs, were we left with a very good, albeit false first impres­sion of Thai­land which, I am sure, had not been the inten­tion of those who had worked out … Con­tinue read­ing

Fantasy Forged in Hell

The Bangkok was just as muddy a river as the mighty olé Mis­sis­sip’, back home. Except for an occa­sional glance from those thatched huts and stilted shanties which peeped through the dense foliage that skirted her loins, her banks revealed … Con­tinue read­ing

Spectrum of Consciousness

In the end, I found the expe­ri­ences on this side of the dream­world to be just as intan­gi­ble as those on the imag­i­nary side. In either case, I was left with lit­tle else than a few per­cep­tions of what’d actu­ally … Con­tinue read­ing
