The library was heavily used, but had very few computers although it has a new automated library system and several Internet connections. Electronic resources are still scarce. Bangkok is an exciting and interesting city with more than 10 million inhabitants. The traffic is a nightmare but people seem to have adapted to it. The Thai food is wonderfully delicious and there are many restaurants.
Shopping is plentiful and bargaining is the acceptable way of doing business.
It is a city of contrasts, beautiful flowers and palaces, enormous traffic jams and tremendous poverty. Bangkok is alive twenty-four hours a day.
