Since I can't quikly find my other thread...
I am in Hua Hin Thailand. I celebrated new years here in an outdoor bar listening to a Thai band do covers of Wester songs, they were actually pretty good and even did Santana justice.
I visted the Bridge over the Kwai the other day. The movie does not do the history of the bridge justice. Actually, 2 bridges were built, the first wooden (which is depicted in the movie) and then a steel-concrete bridge (also built by the POW's) which is still standing and still in use. It is sad given the thousands of POW's and civilians that died in the process. The POW's did not simply build a bridge, but they built and entire railway (the Death Railway).
I also went on a short Elephant and bamboo raft. So far so good. But having been in Hua Hin for 8 days, I am getting antsy, I figure my next stop will be the Island of Ko Tao.
Cheers to all
HHM

I think though...It is our countrys greatest ability to "forgive" such things...But when seeing such things (I watch the history channel alot ya know?) I sort of get my dander up about their actions....
No, I know the USA is not a saint either, but our actions were preventive and not intentionally cruel....
Still, seeing that stuff (In real life) would be interesting....
