The downtown area is full of interesting things to look at. It's very busy and noisy. It is very lush with trees. There are pockets of really nice houses. There are also a lot of not very nice places. Just as any downtown would be I suppose.
These guys go down the street just like a car.
I really like these old style taxis. Apparently they still manufacture these in this style.
This is a really nice Italian restaurant we ate at. It was very swanky inside with a coffee bar and a ice cream counter. They sold breads and various pastries. I will be back.
This is on the way to downtown. I like how the trucks are always decorated. This one has spider man. In the background you can see the A loft hotel. This is the other option for our stay.
They were setting up for some sort of parade or festival later that night.
You see this head everywhere around town. It is painted on the axles of trucks, hanging in front of stores and on the doors of homes. Here it is in a statue form sitting at the top of these stairs. They use it as some sort of deterrent for evil spirits or something. This one is pretty normal looking. Usually they are kind of crazy looking and the guy always has his tongue sticking out. I think I may have to buy one.
Same theory, but this is a type of scarecrow that you see posted up on the sides of construction sites.
It is hard to see her, but the girl crossing the street is carrying something on her head.
These smaller temples are everywhere throughout the city.
A float for the parade.
Indian engineering.
You don't see too many of these. Churches are out numbered by temples by probably 30 to 1.
