Back to Reality

Well, Istanbul was a great few days in my life but my relaity is that I live in Bangkok. An Istanbul it is not. It might sound exotic or romantic to be living in a Bangkok but the reality is that it is a huge Asian city with pollution and traffic and it gets damn hot, or more importantly sticky. I have been here three and a half years and there is still much about here that just mystifies me or that simply I just do not understand. It is a place full of characters and stories. Over time, I will share some of these and you will come to understand why here attracts me and mystifies me, while I see it for what it is.
This is the place of all is never what it seems. There is always much more to what you see and experience and it is that other layer, what is happening underneath the perceived reality, that really matters and where you have to be looking to understand what is really happening. It all makes for a bit of an adventure.
