A few more.....

1. Becoming
2. really
3. expensive

Has anyone noticed the restaurant prices creeping up? The cheap western places are now the expensive western places and the expensive western places are now only frequented by those with drivers or those with tour groups. And i am not even going to start with the rental market........

Not surprising really given that inflation was at over %9 recently.

It's starting too, but this past spring I was there, and you can still get a nice bowl of soup, noodles and beef for a dollar at the little home shops. Smile

I have to wake up 6am everyday anyway because of all the noise! Everyone wakes up at 6 am and I could never really sleep in until 10 am like i used to...

Motorbikes, steel gates opening closing, dogs, music playing...and i forgot to bring my earplugs...
