As Update #2 to yesterday's post about the article from the NY Times entittled To Be Young and Hip in Bangkok, I should point out one quote in particular:
"A year ago, it was nothing but wedding shops, but now it's grown into a fashion extravaganza," says Joshua Phillips, a 23-year-old American with wild blond hair who runs the comprehensive shopping-and-night-life Web site BangkokRecorder.com. "Will it be a success? Yes. Because condos are ridiculously expensive, so Hi-So types" - high-society, that is - "are moving into the area. And where will they spend money?"
I meant to mention it yesterday, but only remembered today when I saw Mr. "Wild Blonde Hair" Phillips in my Math class this morning. He was very psyched that there was a link to his Bangkok Recorder website.
Pretty cool to be quoted in the NY Times. I wish they would quote me!
So dye your hair already. :}.
