Culture shock!

No photos today peeps - I don't think this computer could take the strain! Not sure you guys would cope with the images either! This place is certainly... different. To be honest, it's one of the most unattractive places I've ever been. I'm just glad we overcame the natural thriftyness and paid for the ensuite bathroom. :-)

Playing 'spot the tourist' is a very slow game. Generally, and surprisingly though, we are left alone in the streets. Yet Mrs Phileas has been the recipient of some extra-long inquisitive looks.

Thankfully, the place seems quite safe. The riskiest business is crossing the road and, oh my word, the taxi ride from the airport! It took over 4 pages in Phileas' journal to describe that journey. It is enough to say, for now, that the whole experience went from the unusual, through bizarre and ridiculous, and ended up at Mr. Bean!

We will endeavour to show you more soon.
