How do I describe this city?

From the airport I thought it was going to be a relatively clean city! The vehicles that you use around here are called took-tooks, and I'll aim to post a photo of one.
They are about double the size of an Indian auto, and although you can fit more luggage inside them than an auto, they charge extra per weight.

Back on the road I didn't know what to think. Driving on the same side as America & Canada, and yet in a took-took. Traffic wasn't nearly as bad as India, but they employ the same roadrules. Or more like it, they make them up. To cross across the coming traffic you drive in the opposite direction to the oncoming traffic until you can find a break in the traffic to swerve through.

The weather is quite humid. We didn't notice it as much on Koh Samui because whenever you were hot, you just swam, here you just drip!!

At the airport Cals and i changed our Baht for their rehm (or something like that) and realised straight away that they have an awful lot of notes going round. I don't think they have any coins at all. I think the smallest note they have is worth 2.5c Australian. But the strangest thing that I'm finding is that they also transact using American dollars. So you might go to pay and you can use either currency. It messes with your head, especially when the total for an evening meal can be $3.50 and you've eaten western food. It's just so funny being charged so little with the dollar currency.

Dad and Mum are staying at the mission flat, and Cals, Jen & I were discarded across the road!!! Not quite, but all the beds were taken so we had to find other accomodation. Sara Rose Pogson is here for 5 months, and they have a lady who helps out with cooking and translating that lives onsite who we are yet to meet. The day we arrived was a public holiday, and this is apparently the holiday week where a lot of people go and pay their respects to their ancestors. So all of the contacts are holidaying and we get to meet them on Tuesday. Means that we can help with other admin work before things get busy again. They are currently writing some ss lessons to be translated into the Khmer language, and they all need editing, so that'll be our work for the next couple of days. Plus Kolkata BW starts a week tomorrow, so we're needing to work on the drama and organise the activies while we have time before we get there.
