Can't say I've been able to see much so far.
Even though the two flights were barely 2 hours each, I'm exhausted.
I guess it's the fact that we left HK at dinner-time and were in the process of getting here for another 13 hours.
Our first hotel choice proved to be a bad idea -- pics on the web didn't look like the grim reality -- and we got lucky as the airport-sanctioned taxi driver knew a nice place.
So we ended up at The Royal Mandaya. It's old, with the kind of architecture that you don't see much anymore, but it's kind of quaint for a day.
And the staff have been very helpful.
Unbelievably, I only packed 2 pair of pants! Good thing the hotel laundry is cheap.
The view. There's a pack of dogs that barks almost continuously from across the way there. I hesitate to look to see what they're barking at, or why. I almost don't want to know.
Armed troops at the airport...
