I want it to feel like I've walked into an NWA album. Or something. I just like seeing areas I wouldn't otherwise go to but have heard of. Houses and strip malls sound good, especially if there's a Taco Bell!
Anyway it sounds like the bus isn't going to be a majorly dangerous exercise. Provided my flight is on time and immigration is speedy (both possibly unlikely) I shall check it out!

And it will definitely be bus not metro as the bus goes from right outside my hotel!
