Romantics

Valentine's Day is huge in Asia and not least in Bkk. Signs and advertisements are everywhere. I think there is something romantic in the Asian character. Several articles have appeared in the paper expressing concern about teens and sex. The articles tell about steps being taken to keep teens from sex; motel checks, etc. A number of aspects of the situation come to mind; e.g., the unversality of awakening hormones, etc. It also illustrates two aspect more unique to Thailand. First, is the changing morality. In the past there was very little teen pomiscuity but the world, via media, is changing attitudes here too. Second, is the rare access to automobiles. Very few Thai teens have access to a car, thus no cruising to 'make out park'. Remember your youth, Americans?
Sign, "Luxury Little Pay" or as we'd say, "Pay less for Luxury". Added two more items spotted as street vendor food; popcorn and waffles.
