A Day in Bangkok
I could immediately see the imbalanced income distribution. While going down one street, I saw a newly renovated jewelry store, yet a few shops over there were elderly beggars on the street. There were many blind musicians around the train station near our hotel as well playing for tips. And looking at the infrastructure, you Continue reading
