As the automatic doors of the terminal building opened, I felt a heatstroke. Outside it was stuffy and wet. It seemed to me as if someone invisible threw over me a wet bag. I was close to panic 'How am I going to breathe here?'
Sometimes acclimatization can play with us a strange tricks. On the second day after the arrival my friends asked how I liked the earthquake at night. I answered 'In this region there are no earthquakes. Maybe you were frightened by the speed elevator near your room?'
'No, this is definitely an earthquake! We woke up at midnight on the floor!'
They did not believe me.
The metropolis shook me. Huge human anthill. Speed roads are like fire snakes. Skyscrapers glittering with glass and steel are located next to poor shacks. Strange alien lifestyle...
Golden Buddha, reclining Buddha, sitting Buddha ...
Leaving some temple we are met by a couple of tourists from Germany. Looks like they are tired no less than us. I hear Him ask Her maby she wants to see something else. As if the order sounds phrase in German 'Kein Temple mehr!'
We live in a high-rise hotel. The pool is located on the 14th floor. How unusual it is to swim and look down at the huge city
The coup d'état is a local tradition. This is a frequent occurrence here. People are accustomed to such events they do not pay attention to that. During the tour, our guide casually informed us that, as recently as yesterday, the military carried out a violent change of power.
We are very tired and hungry after seeing the park. We are attracted by a buffet worth $ 10. A huge tray with shrimps looks especially appetizing. Paying the entrance, we head to the seafood dish. Strange, but from the dish comes a disgusting smell. We call the employee buffet. The young man is calm like a Buddha. He reports that the shrimp are rotten, and takes the dish away.
