what's going on...

i noticed that very few kids (and virtually no adults) here seem to walk here - instead, it's not unusual to see five people on a motorbike - three on a bicycle... and most of the staff will wait 20 minutes for a moto (motorbike taxi) than walk a couple of kms ( Read more... )

We have the same issues with obesity in Scotland (as well as having the title as 'sick man of Europe' - woo hoo, it makes me proud). I find it odd that anyone would want to aspire to that!! But then the ad men don't tend to highlight those aspirations do they?

And yes, I'm not the healthiest either! :)

at least you can blame the crap weather for keeping kids indoors... while australia has it's environmentally crappy moments, the low fitness stats were based on a survey conducted in queensland!

hehehe.... let's discuss this further over cocktails in BKK. :)

Sounds like an ace idea. I'm staying in Silom, close to the river, so I'll get the boat out to you (or if you want, we could find somewhere in Silom?).

no need for the nautical... my flat is in silom... near the skanky areas (naturally).

though i've been wanting to check out the BKK "rock club" for ages which is about 10 minutes away in a taxi if you're up for it... i think it'd be hilarious. :)

The best rants are completely contradictory. Refill that cocktail glass and keep on going!

(And as my mother would say 'Do as I say, not as I do.')

or as i would say... if you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning. :)
