I had lunch at the Worker's cafeteria in the Bangkok airport with T, a classmate of mine from Wesleyan. T lives in Thailand and might be described as on the path to enlightenment.
The Workers Cafeteria is a hidden treasure in the Bangkok airport. It's located on the bottom floor, near the parking lot and path to the city buses. Upon entering, customers purchase a coupon book for 100baht. Coupons are then spent at various food stations, with waitresses circulating to remove trays, add silverware, and be generally helpful.
It's a neat place to eat. After the meal, we snacked on a tasty local fruit, and took a walk around the airport.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
