Megalopolis

I’ve been in Bangkok the last two weeks, and three times in the last six months. The city is incredible. It’s well over 10 million people, approaching that of Istanbul, which is the largest city in all of Europe. After a certain threshold size, you get to a point where anything humans do on Earth happens here. Every instrument that exists is played, every language that is spoken is spoken, every cuisine that is cooked is cooked. Everything happens here.
