Sending some warm, muggy, late night loveβ¦
Man, itβs been years since Iβve spent time in the more chaotic parts of Asia. Favs atm are:
and nearly all are wearing sandals
I rode it scooter around Thailand. As it's dangerous for tourists generally, I'd pick a grandma and potter along behind her through the chaos. Never had an issue.
I did, too, years ago.
Though checking in a hotel in Patong and watching a slight Japanese woman wheeled out in wheelchair after she broke both and and legs (face looked fine, luckily) on a scooter, should be enough to make some people think twice.
