I remember standing on a corner of a massive intersection in central Bangkok, surrounded by tall buildings, two huge roads each with 6-8 lanes of traffic going in each direction, plus one with an elevated motorway down the centre, plus the elevated light railway. People everywhere, and the amount of personal space over there is so much less than here. So there I am in the middle of 12 million people, holding on to a pole for a street sign, literally frozen to the spot. I didn't panic, I just stayed in position, let it all flow past me, and let my mind adjust. After about half an hour I was OK and was able to walk across the road and go for a coffee at Starbucks!
So it can happen to anyone.
The good thing is that I did adjust, and eventually felt safer in Bangkok than I do in Sydney. Now, Brisbane seems small by comparison.

That would do my head in for months..i have seen on tv how crowded it is i couldnt handle that..,.

Whats the verdict,how was the clean out, does it make a differance at all...But the BIG question is does it stay or does it go....
