Blogging from Bangkok

I had wanted to do this when I first got to Thailand, but my layover from Bangkok to Chiang Mai was too short to sit down and find the time to type this out. I think my desire to blog from Bangkok had more to do with the simple alliterative value than anything substantial. I also get the pleasure of writing this during Chanukah, so I guess it was a good thing I didn't do this until now.
At the very moment of this writing, I am sitting in a badly conceived "authentic" Thai restaurant, eating overpriced, poorly prepared food in the Departure wing of the Bangkok airport. In typical airport fashion, the mood is subdued. I think at airports everyone watches everyone else and fabricates elaborate stories of where they are going and where they are coming from. At least I do. I have found that points of transit are prime people watching locations. Airports, train stations, and bus depots are gold mines for witnessing human interaction and seeing the variety of crazy there is in the world.
I was really bored before, so I decided to take my camera out, place it on my table, and just start filming. The movie ended up being about 25 minutes because I forgot my camera was still filming. I am hoping that I can somehow edit the video to make it into a Mystery Science Theater-esque short. I guess I will have plenty of time to watch the video on my return trip. Maybe this will become a new hobby of mine, who knows.
Well, I have to finish eating and find my gate soon. Malaysia, here I come!
