Chaos In The Streets

We were given some time today to walk around and wonder through the streets and stores nearby. Being a blonde and white American I attract many stares. I am the only blonde (besides another student I'm with) that I've seen in 4 days. 
There are so many people and so many noises 24/7 so it's much different than I am used to. Honking is inescapable. People are ubiquitous (to say the least). Trash is found in every nook and cranny of the streets. Stray dogs roam the area, searching for anything they could possibly eat. The roads are like a sea of rickshaws and motorcycles; one of my friends actually compared crossing the streets to a game of frogger. 
The city itself is beginning to feel more and more comfortable and I am already becoming used to seeing many of the sights; much like this one.
