I agree. Bangkok is also one of my favorite places in the world. Because of the chaos, the heat, the street food and... Oh pretty much everything about it...
I still use a 'hipsterPDA' type system for notes on the go and don't find the binder clips to be a hassle (I use small ones?) and the wrinkled and bent state the cards always get into I just look at as 'patina', which I find comforting - gives me the sense that they are being used.
Not to mention the cards have a short life span: I end up capturing what I need digitally and then recycle the card.
Could it just be that there is a Halal butcher in the area who doesn't want to pay disposal costs for older goats whose heads are not as prized as the young ones for culinary usage?
I'm originally from outside Philly and this is quite interesting to me.
The question is though, do you have to show up for work in business dress? Whenever I am back there, it always seems so formal to me.
Here in Seattle, life, dress and is so mellow and casual - especially in business attitude. I prefer it that way, which is why I am here and not there..
