Hey
Here are my first impressions of Klong Toey on the first day, so I had jet-lag and wasnt feeling so wonderful.


"I block my nose tightly as I try to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other.
I look across my shoulder and the sight that met my eyes is one I am sure I will never forget; I saw a wrinkly, sweaty old Thai woman rocking a pudgy baby in her arms, I look beyond her and I see sevraly rickety buildings made from pieces of uneven corrugated iron and wood, it would of only taken a breath of wind to blow them down.
I turn my head around again as I TRY to concentrate on what's ahead of me. I see littered gutters filled with some kind of poo- dog or human. They are plastic bags, polystiren contatiners, and half submerged in the gloop I see a plastic bowl with leftover rice and curry, spotted with the black ants that seem to love leftovers.
The heat is overwhealming me, my tee shirt is clinging to my sweaty skin, I feel my hair; it's damp with grease and sweat, right now I would just love to be back home having a freezing cold shower in my bathroom at home. But I know it's not possible, so I straiten myself up, put on a brave face and concentrate on putting one foot infront of the other."
