Peter, water
color on paper, 5x7 inch
In Amsterdam where
Peter lives, things are pretty quiet and usually nice, plenty of beer, drugs, girls,
good jobs and high pay. He arrived in
Bangkok this evening, non-stop from Europe, his first visit,
his brain very busy trying to process the overwhelming and unfamiliar density
spread out before him in
the hot and humid Bangkok night. Food
stalls with fried bugs, sexy girls and ladyboys, baby elephants,
300 pound Expats, multiple layers of music, millions of Thais, infinite piles
of counterfeit goods and an
apocalyptic level of non-stop noise and confusion. Pretty soon, Peter’s brain
is going to stop.
