The noise in the street here is INCREDIBLE - its hard to think when you're walking in the street, and our hotel rom is practically on the street, the walls of the room do so little. Why? Why is it so loud? I will describe to you everything I can hear right now, sitting in my hotel room...
"loud metallic hammering...english voices talking at the reception...a vendor of some sort walking up and down the street yelling 1 word over and over...a metal door being raised up as a shopkeeper opens his shop...the clattering of a cart on the stone street..the roar of a motorcycle and the sputter as it goes by in small spurts down the crowded street...clanking of money...car horns in the distance...a low hum of conversation with ocasional voices raised higher...shopkeepers yelling from one end of the street to the other...telepones ringing...a radio on full blast....little children screeming in laugheter as they run past....and i'm not sure if cows make noise as they lumber along, but they're in the mix too. Whew!
