Odds (and Ends)

Observations:
* Cars with no option for heat
* Five people on a motorcycle with the family dog running behind them
* Monkeys on our balcony
* Strangers handing us phone to talk to random people because we speak English even though the person on the other end of the phone doesn't appear to speak English
* Floors that are swept constantly, but menus that are grimy
* Cellphone rules that require a passport, multiple photo IDs and local references before you get a SIM card
* 2 lane roads that go down to one lane because no one wanted to cut down an old tree
* garlic being peeled on the floor and put back there when done
* all the switches go the opposite direction of america, where up is off
* socks with a separate toe so you can wear flip flops

The cellphone rule sounds weird, but no weirder than getting naked (or almost) before passing through the airport security in US. They are both done in the name of national security. The given logic is that they wanted to make it difficult for terrorists to obtain and switch cell phone numbers easily.
