so where've you been? 13 Chiang Mai, northern Thailand; shadows

Watching people is slowly becoming the most important thing about travelling, for me.

Today I stood on the Thae Phae bridge over the river Ping, in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.

I turned at too-close brake screech, and watched a small child be run over by a big car - he bounced for ten yards on the bonnet of the car hitting him, then slid slowly down the front, brushed himself off, and scarpered, unharmed.


Meanwhile, everyone watching stood frozen, listening to their hearts exploding.
