Bangkok needs a Moishe House

Hello from bangkok, thailand. i just got in yesterday and there is a jewish community here. not a sizeable one, but still there is one. it's always crazy to see jews in foreign countries, especially when the physical appearance of the locals is not one typically associated with jews. speaking of things you don't always see, last night while cruising around on sukhumvit rd i saw an elephant in the street. it caused a traffic jam, and the elephant didn't care that there were 38 taxis honking at it. it was if the elephant was thinking, "do you see my trunk. it's huge."

on another note, the prostitution in this country is rampant and extremely sad. so many girls are being offered for sex at every turn. i'm with my buddy dave, and two 25 year old white guys must be among their top clients typically. some poeple around here, and at the hostel where i'm staying, joke around about it. but it's really sad, and truly something i'll take back with me to america in my mind. catch you all later. and a special hello to mauro from buenos aires and tad from warsaw, it was awesome having you guys stay over the last few weeks in sf.
