Most recently, my company announced that it would not give out a bonus, and the following day, the workers stopped working. Try explaining to someone who works 48 hours a week, trying to raise a family on 8 dollars a day that they didn't do enough to earn their bonus. In case you're wondering, a global recession, political standoffs, and foreign exchange losses don't cut it.
So, here's to the good 'ol days - before the sub prime crisis, airport shutdowns, citywide protests, and a global financial meltdown...
Back when the sunset wasn't darkened by industrial smog, when a trip to the market meant floating down river, and you could eat the fish in the stream.
Then again, back in the good 'ol days Thailand had rampant epidemics, invading armies from Cambodia, lots of ghosts, floods, and tyrannical leaders...
It also had some nice temples.
Perhaps, it's only the days that have changed.
