From Kathie's Fodors report: "After enjoying our suite for a while, we decided to go out to explore. Sidewalks are hazardous. Great chunks of concrete are missing or displaced, some water-main covers are missing, creating hole a foot or more deep. Drivers seem to have the right of way, even in crosswalks. Pedestrians do seem to have the right of way on sidewalks. On the other hand, the traffic is the most orderly of any city that size I've seen in SE Asia – Singapore excepted. Horns are rarely used and drivers are not aggressive. Traffic flows smoothly, even when the streets are crowded."
