Ironic t-shirt of the month
Bangkok 2, originally uploaded by 160507.
From the Suan Lum night market in Bangkok, 160 baht (about 220 pesos). I didn’t haggle. Dammit why are their graphic tees wittier and cheaper than the stuff sold in Manila? Why is Thailand clean? Why are their roads wide and smooth? Why does Bangkok work? And why, when you return to Manila and emerge at the airport, do you immediately feel a depression coming on?

I have this shirt, got it from a shop called Switch. I paid PhP500, darn!

Really nice shirt!
@dalang_dan24, where can I find Switch?

@mccoy:
Switch has a shop in Tiendesitas and on 50th Avenue sa Galleria. Last time I checked they still have this shirt sa Robinson and it was on sale for PhP350.

To answer your question about BKK/Thailand, they were under a military rule for a long time. Heck, all these other counrties that advanced economically were at one time or another under a dictator (S. Korea, Malaysia, Singapore,Taiwan).
Alas , our very own dictator was not in the same class as the others. He didn’t really have a vision for the country. He only had visions of enriching his family.
So back to square one and what I’m afraid of is that Bangladesh might overtake us soon. They even have their own Nobel Peace Prize winner.
