A Weird Trip to Somewhere I Can't Pronounce
ok so i just landed in this place called 3444876 and my brain is still processing the name. like, who names a city a string of numbers? but hey, the vibe here is weirdly charming. the locals don't even blink when you ask for directions to "three four four four eight seven six." i checked the weather and it's 23.1°c right now with 92% humidity, so yeah, it's a bit like walking through a warm cloud. hope you like that kind of thing.
anyway, i'm staying in this tiny guesthouse run by a lady who insists on calling me "sweetie" even though we just met. she warned me about the street food near the market-"spicy enough to make you cry," she said, laughing. i heard that the grilled corn down by the river is legendary, but also that it might give you heartburn for days. take that as you will.
if you get bored, 1076343513 and a few other cities are just a short drive away. i haven't been yet, but someone told me 1076343513 has the best sunset views. might check it out tomorrow if i survive the corn.
*random tips:
- bring a reusable water bottle-this humidity will drain you.
- the local buses are chaotic but cheap. just hold on tight.
- don't trust the taxi drivers who approach you at the airport. they're overpriced.
"the best coffee in town is at that little place with the blue door,"
a drunk guy told me last night. i haven't found it yet, but i'm on a mission. also, the street art here is insane-like, every corner has a mural that looks like it belongs in a museum. i'm pretty sure the artist is some local legend, but no one seems to know their name.
i'm still figuring out the rhythm of this place, but it's growing on me. the people are warm, the food is bold, and the air smells like rain even when it's not. if you're into offbeat destinations, this might be your jam.
