(thats at least what my lonely planet tells me.. and i highly doubt that its less by now)
oh, and needless to say they hardly have ANY trafficlights. honestly, im quite surprised that i didnt get hit by a car/tuktuk/motorbike yet. europe will be so boring. no more suicidal acts all day long :/
so i was VERY brave today and took an ordinary bus. now, the trip to the mbk (shopping.. i love it. 3 pairs of shoes for 13 euros.. sigh) was cool. i had a seat, noone stood on my feet and the lady even told me where to get off. (the surely must think were all stupid for not knowing where to get off.. ah well)
the trip back however was hell. i have never in my whole life seen that many people on one bus. i reckon about 80 on a normal one (and i will never complan again if i dont have 2 seats to myself on the train, or if i have to sit on the stairs)
and the funny thing is: 3 people get off, 10 get on, eventho they hang half outside while the bus is driving. gosh. never again (ok.. for some time at least)
apart from that i went to the grand palace today. BEAUTIFUL. absolutely amazing. i could spend hrs there but its simply too hot for me to do more than 3 hrs sightseeing on one day. luckily i was back in the guesthouse when the rain started. holy.. and suddenly there was no light..
life... HUGE.
