25 hour report

I have been in Bangkok for 25 hours now, and here is a numerical report of my time thus far:

Number of street stall Pad Thais consumed: 2
Number of hours of heavy rain which totally flooded the streets this afternoon: 2
Number of pirated cds purchased for A$3.50 each: 12
Number of hours spent dancing to hip hop music: 3
Number of Thai girls kissed: 2
Number of shirts rendered not-wearable due to extreme sweating: 3
Approximate number of lady-boys sighted: 18
Number of listens to the new Ryan Adams & The Cardinals album since purchasing it this afternoon: 3
Number of times nose has been wrinkled by the crassness of Kao Sahn road: 8
Number of moments spent reflecting on my love-hate relationship with said road, and on the fact that despite all its (major) flaws, its pulse, its accessibility and its lack of shame keep on bringing me back every time I'm in this bloated city: 8
Number of times Rhianna's "Pon de Replay" has been heard: 7
Number of cute hats purchased: 1
