What a fascinating modern age we live in.
Daytime street vendors in Bangkok sell pineapple slices on sticks. They sell shoes, purses, and holy amulets.
Nighttime street vendors, especially around the Little Arabia area for some reason, sell bright shiny lights.
I have to admit that, as jaded as I've become about the phenomenon of shopping from the sidewalk, I can't help but stop and take a look at the light-up stuff. I haven't bought any of these things, which is probably good--it frees up both money and shelf space for the all-important acquisition of reading material.
