I keep seeing little funny things that I always forget to tell anyone. I was in this crazy crowded market today. Bangok has so many of these and they all have a different feel... but they're all narrow and mobbed. Then people walk through pushing food carts! But you know, the locals are just so used to it. Thay never bug out. In the US we expect everything to be comfortable all of the time. My friend has a very small shop on 2nd Ave, and customers will actually tell him to turn the air up or...

I haven't ever encountered a dangerous situation. I'm sure that, just like in NY, if you're careless in crowd ou can get pickpocketed or something. But as for violence, I never see it. Confontation is frowned upon in Thai culture. In five long trips here I think I only saw a loud argument once. In the US, the scariest thing is packs of 16-25 year olds. Young people can be evil when they're in a group. I never ever get that vibe off people here. People are very friendly and easygoing. As for...

Bea Arthur was always a major favorite of mine. Even pre-Maude. Here's a GG story... On Sept 11, 2001, the police sealed off access to my house after dark, so I had to stay at a friend's house in the West Village. Unable to sleep, I switched on the TV and was treated to endless re-runs of the crumbling towers. The same shots over and over. On over 200 channels. Finally, one tiny station somewhere began to show Golden Girls episodes back-to-back, all through the night. The Golden Girls saved...

God rest Elizabeth Montgomery since she died of rectal cancer in 1995, but Barbara Eden is still around.
