We arrived at today's hotel in daylight, which was good. It gave us enough time to visit a local shopping centre complete with supermarket to stock up on supplies for another long journey tomorrow. Wandering around in the daylight it was clear that we were quite a novelty for the locals with a lot of giggling and 'Good Morning, How are you?'s, despite it being late afternoon. Having stocked up we returned to the hotel (rating unknown, but better than last nights) to prepare for an evening out. We were taken to a local floating karaoke restaurant where the food was complimentary as part of the trip. The veggie selection was limited to rice and fried rice and when the fried rice came out it was interesting how David was accused of 'hogging' it. Unfortunately, afterwards a few people went on to a concert and then a boxing match where Rick had his wallet pickpocketed.
