Just a couple of days here. Much cleaner than I expected. Beer available but not easy to locate and expensive. At hostel, [YMCA??] Met couple from USA. Met them again in Pagan, Burma flew with them to BGK. They owned house/hut in Bali. less than a thousand US. Think they were not allowed to own the property.
Took a commuter ferry down the river not knowing where I was going. The Bangladesh of my imagination. Shacks on stilts above a muddy pond. Charpi emptied into water, children happily splashing below.
