check out our neighborhood!
so, the main street running through this part of town is Sukhumvit. here are a couple pics, but it's kind of hard to see because the sky train runs along the middle of the road - very convenient for us! there's a stop right at our street.

| traffic on Sukhumvit is always like this |
there are dozens of numbered streets (Sois) on either side of it. we live on Sukhumvit Soi 24.
soi 24 can be summed up by 3 types of establishments: high rise apartment buildings (like ours), massage places/spas (most of them are above board), and japanese restaurants (there are lots of japanese people living in the area). here's a little montage:

| all of these are ON our street! |
 |
| not cheap, unfortunately... |
 |
| 2 in 1! |
some other fun things on our street are pictures of the king and/or queen,
spirit houses,
 |
| the bottom right one is at our building :) |
a giant shrimp (great landmark when directing taxi drivers - 'gung yai'),
and our street's most puzzling sign.
some of the other nearby sois are really great, with lots of interesting restaurants and shops - pics of those places to come!
