Chinatown, Bangkok.

Not since Expo 86' have I seen this many people crowded into one location. It was unbelievably packed with human sardines. Quite fun.
And a refreshing change from Kazakhstan was their faux-interest in recycling. There is ZERO recycling in Almaty. And when I say ZERO, I don't just mean none, I mean there is no word in the Kazakh language that translate as 'recycling.'

But then you meet the Thai. They not only want your business, they want the bottle they sell it to you in, back. So they promptly pour your soda into a plastic bag, give you a straw, and take back the bottle. And when you are finished with your soda, they kindly take the plastic bag and straw and force it into a drain hole in the sewer right on the curb.

It makes you question how effective recycling really is in the West.
