I believe all of you must have ever ordered pizza delivery. The bell on the door rings, you run to the door, a handsome pizza man is waiting. Then you pay and take it to your kitchen. What next? You take out a few plates, which you have to clean up later, and manage half of the pizza to your children and yourself. You then try to keep the rest in the fridge but you cannot fit a whole pizza box in.

With this new pizza box design, you would overcome those inconveniences. The top half of the pizza box could be applied to four small plates. The rest of the box could be fold and form a half normal sized pizza box, which is easier for you to put it in the fridge. Isn't it cool?

Today the sun is perpendicular to Bangkok surface. This should have caused the temperature to rise up to more than 40 C. However, just before noon, the clouds had been gathering and blocking the sun light. I started to walk quicker to get back into the office and almost without any notice it started to rain.

The ground was completely soak in about less than half a minute. The level of water on the streets was rising up very quickly. This is another well known factor of Bangkok traffic jam.

It is two hours raining already. A senior officer just passed by, told me that the sky was leaking.

I decided to meet my family at my grandparents' house in Ayuddhaya during Thai New Year [Apr 13th-15th]. Travelling by train is the most convenient way to get there. The train was very crowded as everyone was going home and escaping from the political situation in Bangkok. The 3rd class no air-conditioned trian smelled sweat from passengers. A few men with a big bucket full of soft drinks or bags of boiled eggs tried to sqeeze themselves through passengers, selling them. I paid attention on my book to filter out all these annoying environment. An old man was walking toward me. One of his hand was holding a plate, which contained packs of fried chicken with basil and a fried egg. Wherever you go in this country, this is the meal you can always order. It is one of our national dishes. Some call it "Aharn-Sin-Kid; the dish you order when you cannot think of anything else". A woman, who had been sleeping since the train departed from Bangkok, ordered one. She was fuelling herself while I was swallowing my saliva taking a picture of her.

One afternoon after a long day at the office. I was on my way home as usual in a high humidity condition of Bangkok (and other cities near the equator). Smoke and noises from the vehicles on the streets were very disturbance. I kept walking, heading to my apartment as fast as I could to escape this uncomfortable environment. Normally, I do not look at anything else apart from the pavement cement passing my feet, but this day was different. My eyes spotted a traffic sign that I think it could not be in other countries. The sign said 'Obey the traffic law zone!'.

I was standing there for a moment. The girl, who was selling flowers, looked at me as if there was something wrong. I was amazed by this sign. Beyond this sign, you HAVE TO OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAW! and how about the area before the sign or somewhere else? I took the picture of the sign and continued walking back home, kept thinking all night who had started such a sign.
