It touches my silly bones

Things make me laugh that I know isn't funny to other people. I guess that is way I laugh in a movie theater when no one else is laughing.

Here's one of those things that hits my silly bones.

Motorcycles are very popular in Thailand,Kenya,and Pakistan I notice. They whizz between cars and cars travel so close to each other. I will say that drivers in Thailand are much better than Kenya and Pakistan.

Anyway, one day I was going to Lumpini Park about 7am. I saw a long line of people on the side walk which included men as well as women. I wondered why? Then came the motorcyclist all in purple vests. Every two minutes it stopped and a person hopped on the back and they speeded away down the street. There must have been a business or factory down that way because they all went the same direction. I thought it was so funny I just stood there watching,fascinated,and laughing to myself.

I now realize that all over Bangkok there are motorcycle taxis just like car taxis.

I found that watching the traffic go by from Sarwat's fourth floor apartment in Karachi,Pakistan was most fascinating. You see carts being pulled by man,donkeys,horses,and camels. And also at the same time huge colorfully decorated buses,huge logging trucks,as well as small motorized cars they call richshaws..but they don't look like the richshaws in China or Honolulu. The variety of vehicles from modern Honda/Toyota/Susuki sedans and trucks(Japan makes seem to be the most popular in Pakistan and Kenya)and ancient style man and animal drawn carts all sharing the roads at the same time was facinating to me.

I really enjoy traveling on the Sky Trains in Bangkok. They are clean,air conditioned,and fast. They are more expensive than buses and taxis. But sometimes taxis can be cheaper if more than one person is/or are traveling together.
