Oh my god

It's absolutely crazy here, the traffic is insane and we got lost walking around the block...

we arrived yesterday after a very interesting and eye opening bus ride. the driver decided taht he didn't want to drop us off at our stop, ao we had to try and make our way from the other side of the CBD. eventually we got a taxi to drive us (was interesting as he spent most of the time on the wrong side of the road...)

in the afternoon we deicided to go for a walk around the block. on one street we found that there were 10 gun shops (intersperced with mower shops) in the middle of the city. one building was nothing but gun shops (pistals and rifles), and they were even selling sights on teh side of the road in little stalls.

the hotel there we are staying in is nice (appart from the shower head that is 3 feet off the floor. so to wash our hair we have to kneel on the bottom of the bath). but it is all part of the experience :-)

well, gotta go, as we are going on a tour to the templates around the city, and then going to a massive market tonight to buy the clothes for the rest of our trip.

Glad to see you are having an interesting time. The ironic thing about it is that is sounds like newcastle all guns and showers for short people. hope to hear another instalment soon.

Yes I have been to the gun Street in Chinatown, if you kept walking to the next Street you would of found the wedding shop, runs off the gun Street - Ironic? Maybe?
