I can ignore my sweating, but the people near me, can't.
I think I've had 'western' food 6 times in two months, mostly out of convenience.
I took a lady friend to an expat owned place that had good food, but dinner ran about $5 each. She liked the food, but 'too expensive, we not go back'.
(Looks like I hit the 'all you can eat' pizza night at another expat owned place for $5, solo.)
I'm not sure I'd have been quite as careful as you were. The car behind, yes, but not so much so with regard to the Merc.The street market areas are very crowded in the evening, with people stopping to buy cooked food to take home, or stuff to cook at home. Double and triple parking is common. Here i get blocked in by a jerk in a mercedes while I am parked in a normal spot, and shopping across the street. I doubt the mirrors fold in automatically when parked, so I guess he was worried some inconsiderate person would hit his car...also left the flashers on.
This is the shortened version, barely enough room to get out, eventually. (Excluding most of the cursing, and attempts to get my passengers to watch the back of the trike so I didn't hit the parked car behind me. Hard to judge where the end is with the step bumper that projects about ten inches.)
