After a short stopover in Hong Kong, my first sight of nostalgia in Thailand was stacks of cassette tapes and CDs I had bought before I went to college. They have been abandoned ever since mp3 took reign of audio media format. Probably the next victim of the digital invasion will be my books; they are sitting still in my shelf and gathering dust.
Also the old Bangkok is nostalgically fascinating as ever. Together with street food, this could be heaven. A friend of mine saw my photo album and mocked me if I came back to Thailand to eat. And actually the answer is yes.
I do not like the budding of Japanese this and that all over the city though. Despite many new buildings, the architectural scene in Bangkok is still bad. Many new apartments and that one big lot opposite of Siam Paragon will be major players soon. The economy of cheap food will struggle in this most-expensive-than-ever city. We will see.
