BangkokWow—I have never seen so many motorcycles in one place! Almost everybody gets around on a motorbike. They go to school, campus, office, even to the malls by motorbike. Almost half of the streets here are packed with motorbikes. You have to watch for them when driving here. They often cut in front of you without notice. Perhaps, I will think twice before deciding to drive here.
