Here you won't find the pages of a pedantic journal, praises to fantastic places or accounts of memorable encounters. This is a collection of stories, thoughts, images, and most of all odd stuff, even though to someone else it might actually look ordinary. To discern its bizarre side, in fact, special filters are needed: cynicism, fussiness, stubbornness, isolation, impudence, nosiness and nerdiness. All flaws that, in different measure, this semi-nomadic being has got embedded in his genes.

Developing country? - Bangkok, Thailand
When disabled passengers enter any station of the Bangkok SkyTrain system (BTS), they are accompanied by an attendant to the right platform and assisted while boarding the train. The arrival station is then informed of the relevant train, car, door and seat numbers. When the passengers reach their desired destination, an employee will be waiting for them in front of the specified door and will accompany them to the station exit.
It all seems to be set by company procedures, rather than being left to the random appearance of some responsible citizen.
When referring to Thailand as a developing country, make sure that you are taking into account purely economic indicators, because in other respects this is an extremely developed and civilized society.
