First trip to the GM plant
... Mind you, lots of people can afford scooters - they are everywhere and generally with 2, 3 or 4 people on them.
Many of the big double decker buses are brightly painted with colourful murals. It was quite odd to see buses painted with Mickey Mouse, or Snow White and even one with Santa Claus and his reindeer! Others had more Asian-like motifs.

Speak soon from Bangkok!
Lots of love
Karen and Paul

Good fun, although turning around is a real skill I didn't master. One embarrasing episode saw me drift over to a load of rocks ...
