(from a few days ago in my journal) Today we walked Bangla Road (where we will be doing our night ministry) for the first time and it was so heavy, even during the day. There are literally HUNDREDS of bar, which means that during peak season there are around 1200 girls working every night. Girls at risk of being purchased and taken advantage of.

Since I was starving and didn't know what anything else was, I got one of these omelets. Let me just tell you. Thai people know what they are doing when it comes to eggs.
