you know a country's a global economic influence
when it's found its way into the international breakfast buffet.
representing america - bacon, ham and eggs.
japan - sashimi; steamed rice; breaded fried pork or chicken.
europe (yes, they're taken as a whole) - a slew of breads, fruits and cheese.

and so, the lone Filipino in the whole buffet area has to
make do. i wonder when tapsilog, cornedbeefsilog and daingsilog will
show up on the breakfast buffet table?
sigh.

so anyway, i remembered, as of last night, i've been in bangkok a week.

this morning, someone asked, "are you enjoying it here?
do you like it? personally, i find it isn't a hard place to like.
it's a great place to live."

well, that's true, bangkok aims to be endearing.
ironic for a country that resisted the foreign influence for so long.
am i enjoying it? for the most part, yes.
do i like it? yes.
would i live here? i don't know yet.

i'm rather fond of tapsilog.
