Bangkok-through the lense

Living in Dhaka, Bangladesh has it's perks, for sure...travel is one of them! It is 1.5hr flight to Nepal and Bhutan. It's 2hrs to Bangkok, and a 3hr flight to Sri Lanka. Given all the perks, living in Dhaka can also be quite difficult. There is no adequate health care services, limited access to clean water, frequent power outages, endless stares from men, and pollution and poverty, that at times, doesn't seem real. Leaving Dhaka is a must to find normalcy again. Bangkok is frequently visited by Expats, and the experience of leaving was once described by a friend as the following, "If you want something that feels normal, go to Bangkok where you have access to mostly everything you would ever want or need. You will blend in and feel "normal" again."

I ventured out to some of the night markets in BKK. I can't remember the name of this particular market, but in the back, there is an entire parking lot of vehicles transformed into bars awaiting the young people of the big city to bring life into them...

This was my first attempt at adjusting shutter speed...it took me forever...about an hour, and maybe 20 trains, to capture this. Patience is important, I am learning, when trying to get just the right shot.
