WOW!!!!Just hit the most unusual city i have ever been in. The volume of everything is unreal. Traffic for one thing is out of this world. There is no pedestrian walkways just walk across the road and the traffic goes around you!!! The are mopeds by the millions! Seriously!
Another thing is the ridiculously low price of everything. For instance, i have just got a roadside, outdoor haircut and full shave (nose, ears forehead…… i mean everything….above the belt of course!) for 50cent……….what more can i say.
Unfortunately the internet connection is seriously slow at the mo so will post photos and talk more later. Just wanted to write a quick post before dinner(what ever that turns out to be…)

So good to hear you’re having a ball, I’m almost jealous about you being there despite what I’m up to (ok ok, you have beer for 10c a pop, yes, I am officially jealous!!)

Hi Conor
Sounds as though you are off on a trip of a lifetime.
Maybe you should sell the story of the trip to RTE. Hey, if Ewan &
Charley can do it, why not you.
Enjoy yourselves & take care.

PS: Your Ma says if you DHL your dirty clothes back home, she will
pop them in the machine & have them back to you in no time.

Thanks guys for all you comments.
Dont worry MUM, i will call you MUM in the future. 24 degrees sounds cold compared to here…..Its cooler than Dubai tho so at least we can walk around.
Peter, Thanks for tips, Unfortunately i have only a sink and a bar of soap to keep my clothes clean……..And DHL dont do big enough bags to get the washing back home.
Talk to you soon
Conor
