...out of the airport road...smack into a sea of humanity.
If you want to feel like a big D'bag have your hotel (I was at the Shangri-la or M. Oriental can't remember which) send one of their cars to pick you up.
Yup a big white Mercedes S500 series, I felt like a total idiot going through that neighbourhood, at about 5 mph, since there are so many people just walking on the road. I've never felt more conspicuous in my life.
Needless to say the return trip was done in one of their Toyota's.
