UNA CIUTAT ANGELICAL

Ja som a a la capital de Tailandia, Bangkok, despres de 650km en tren. Per arribar fins a la capital hem anat en 2a classe en un tren express, amb llitera i aire condicionat. Els trens express no tenen 3a classe i son per tant mes cars que aquests, pero son mes comodes per a distancies que poden comportar passa una nit al tren ((tenen aire condicionat i dutxa) com a estat el darrer cas.

A mitja tarda els cambrers del tren passen demanant el sopar i esmorzar per a aquells que el vulquin. Sino es pot comprar menjar preparat a les estacions o als mercats propers abans de pujar el tren. Cap a quarts de vuit de la tarda, l'encarregat del vago passa seient a seient per a convertir-los en les lliteres, una de baixa i una d'alta, que sempre inclouen llencols i manta nets. Una cortina dona al viatger la poca intimitat necessaria per a passar la nit. Aixo si el moviment del tren i la llum que durant tota la nit no s'apaga, et permet d'agafar la son.

Bangkok, la ciutat amb el sobrenom de la "Ciutat dels Angels" va neixer el 1786 quan el rei Rama I va portar fins aqui la capital del regne. Amb 8 milions d'habitans i un transport public deficient, Bangkok pateix de frequentment embussos, de soroll i de contaminacio. Problemes que pateixen no nomes les ciutats asiatiques, tambe les europees...

Haviem sentit diversos comentaris sobre la zona s'allotgen habitualment els viatgers que visiten Bangkok, Kaosan Road., cap d'ells positius. Kaonsan Rd. es un ghetto turistic on es pot trobar allotjament barat a qualsevol hora del dia. Pero tambe a qualsevol hora del dia es pot trobar per aquest carrer peatonal panxuts amb una cervesa a la ma a primera hora del dia, venda de samarretres de dubtos gust, cocktails a 1,5 euros, i soroll, molt de soroll. Dormir a Kaosan Rd. es pot convertir en una tasca impossible quan practicament les pareds prefabricades del Guesthouse on dorms, vibren seguint la musica del bar-musical que hi ha sota!

Tot i els sovints embussos i dens transit que hi ha per Bangkok, treure's el carnet de concuir aqui es molt facil. Nomes cal anar a qualsevol de les multiples paradetes que hi ha Kaosan Rd., acordar un preu, portar una foto, i en poques hores tindras el teu carnet de conduir europeu, america, o d'on faci falta. No cal dir que son falsificacions, clar. Pero no nomes carnets de conduir ofereixen, sino tambe d'estudiant, de Premsa, de Fotograf, de treballador de Linea Aeria... o qualsevol altra sota comanda. Passaport? Carnet del Barca? I tot a quatre passes dels policies que ronden per la zona.

I que comentar dels quatre barris vermells que hi ha a la ciutat. Durant la segona guerra mundial, la ciutat es va convertir en el burdell de molts soldats que trobaven en la permisivitat de la seva gent un lloc ideal per esbargir-se. Bars de Go-Go, de Top-less, de masatges de tota mena, i d'espectacles porno es el que es pot trobar tot passejant per aquests barris.

  3. It is normal for the black paint to be worn off, but if there are any indentions over 1/16 of an inch deep, it's time to order replacement parts for your machine. Under extreme stress caused by heavy weights, these damaged parts can break. Maintaining a Bowflex machine by scouting out dangerous possibilities is necessary for your safety.. HydrotherapyWater therapy can also mean hydrotherapy. According to The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability, hydrotherapy is "the use of water by external applications, either for its pressure effect or as a means of applying physical energy to a tissue." The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians states that the following treatment methods constitute hydrotherapy: castor oil packs, constitutional hydrotherapy, a cold cloth to your forehead, hot foot baths and nasal lavage. Other forms of hydrotherapy include saunas, steam baths, sitz baths, and contrast hydrotherapy..You can also use a piece of paper in your pocket or a piece of clothing to get the fire started. Make sure you're keeping any of your combustible materials dry. You can place it underneath a tree trunk or use a piece of wood to protect your other wood.

Originally hand-built in England, it is now assembled here from frames and components made overseas. It still uses Reynolds 531 tubing1, although not on the chainstays (which join the rear wheel to the bottom bracket where the pedals attach) because Reynolds no longer do these in 531.. Witch Hazel Trail and Lumberjack Loop :: Saint Charles, MIRingwood Forest is an out-of-the-way and lightly developed county park bordering the South Branch Bad River. In the spring the woods can be a bit sloppy and in early summer a little buggy. But by late June the trails are dry, by mid-August most of th….If A were six, then the image would be appear six times larger through the viewfinder. B is a measurement of the diameter of the binocular lenses, which determines how much of the target space can be seen at once. Another important factor is a binocular's ability to focus, which can be anywhere from severely limiting to entirely customizable, with individual focus for each eyepiece.

The sole of a boxing shoe is thinner than that of conventional footwear. The underside ridges also lack the same depth. Banned ItemsIn May 2011, FIFA banned players from wearing snoods, a cylindrical piece of cloth worn around the neck in a similar way to a scarf. The ban was implemented after a spate of snood-wearing in the English Premier League and in other European countries. Players argued the garment kept their necks warm, but soccer law-makers pointed to the potential safety problems posed by the snood.CausesWhile cycling, the pressure between your feet and the pedals can cause blood blisters, as can pressure and friction from cycling shoes that are too tight. Your grip on the handlebars is another source of pressure that can prompt blood blister formation. This is more likely in off-road biking, when your hands experience considerable pressure and friction as you grip the handlebars tightly and try to hold them straight.
