We went out a few times and tried to just see as much as possible. People have no personal space issues. They just push right past you...even old ladies! Especially old ladies!
It's fascinating to see super modern luxury things right next to crappy old junk. Like the roads are filled with luxury mercedes and BMWs and also rickshaws and rusty bikes with whole families piled on. The buildings look brand new, but everyone dries their laundry outside, even underwear. And they don't even put their laundry on their own windows. They tie lines all over the sidewalk posts and just hang their blankets and shirts and underwear right in everybody's way. You have to literally push somebodys bra out of the way so you can walk down the sidewalk.
We went in a buddist temple on the best day...Buddah's birthday! The place was packed, but the guide said that was normal. Really interesting statues and people dropping and praying all over. And the incense is still making my eyes burn.
Checked out a wet market and saw the live & dead toads, snakes, eel, chickens, snakes, etc. Watched them gut the snakes for a while. Fun job that guy has! "
