Arrived last night having been awake for 30 hours. Got met at the airport - the first time i have ever been met by someone holding a placard with my name on, which was in itself very exciting indeed!
Drove though mad streets, with thousands of people riding bikes and motorbikes, sometimes 3 or 4 people on one, everyone weaving about as going in a straight line is just not done! Went past a truck piled unbelievably high with sacks of rice with three or 4 people precariously perched on top of them all..... I was unable to stare at them for longer than they all stared at me.
Its not as hot as Dubai here, but very very humid. Today I shall have a look round the city, and possibly go swimming at a hotel with some girls i met last night. I am moving to a single room with air con later too. Woot! I got my twin room to myself last night.. well, I shared with a small yellow green lizard, didn't catch his name, but he lives under the bed permanently i think..... part of the deco, along with the conrnucopia of fag-burned plastic furniture, exciting looking exposed wiring, and drunken ceiling fan! Cleanish though, so can't complain :)
SO. Where to today? People have suggested the genocide muiseum, but I think i'll leave that cheery experience for another day. The royal palace looks interesting so I think i'll head that way...
