<em>A girl lights incense for the Buddha. Bangkok, Thailand.</em></p>
<p>by Mike<br />
For whatever reason, I didn&#8217;t pull out my camera until the end of the day yesterday, so I have to remember the following scenes using the miracle of writing&#8230;<br />
<a href="javascript:collapseExpand('6154')">(read more)</a><div id="6154" style="display:none;"> </p>
<p>Looking from the side of a riverboat taxi passing under a bridge, I saw a shoeless, shirtless man in the shadow of a pillar, fishing the disgusting river.</p>
<p>On a one way street, with the constant explosions of motorcycles and cars accelerating past me, a girl in a polka dot dress floated in the opposite direction on her bicycle, sipping a drink through a straw. </p>
<p>A woman cooked rice soup on her portable cart, lit by natural light in the front few feet of a deep, dark garage.</p>
<p>Every once in a while you inhale particles of hot chili oil that&#8217;s being cooked at one of the street food stalls. As I was sitting behind one of the stalls, I watched a cloud of the chili oil particles float into the morning sunlight.</p>
<p>On the riverboat, the backs of people&#8217;s heads, the driver looking back toward me in the mirror, and an assistant standing on the boat&#8217;s banister and reaching in over a rope to take money from the young lady who just got on board. The assistant is wearing gloves with an anchor emblem on the back.</p>
<p>In a quiet wooden house the wooden floorboards run away from me, mirrored by the boards on the ceiling.</p>
