Alright, managed to stay awake till close to 10, then sleep through till just after 7 (with only a few wake ups in between). Jetlag going this way hasn't been quite so bad.
Observations from the night:
We went for lebanese food. The restaurant was about a mile away, so we walked some more through a the bustling street market that erupts around here after dark. Stalls once again sell everything from clothes to magnets to electronics to nude paintings on black velvet to odd sex toys. Quite the combination. You'll also spot a wide selection of transvestites dressed in short miniskirts hanging out through out the market. Most of the stores remain open as well, which range from Star Bucks to a women's accessories shop called oddly "The Pink Pvssy".
The restaurant itself was very tasty. They had houkahs for rent, which tempted Crys. In the end she decided it might mess with her quitting smoking and passed it up. We ordered some hummus, nan, falafel, and shish kabob. The Nan was the best I've had. The hummus had an odd flavor, some extra spice I'm not used to, but it grew on you and was very enjoyable. The Shish kabob came with a green dipping sauce that had a serious bite to it, but was definitely full of flavor. Good recommendation all the way and worth the walk down.
Now we prepare for a new day. The plan appears to be leaving for the train around 1:30 today and it leaving for parts south around 2:45. No idea when we'll come across interenet access again, so I'll post more updates when we get the opportunity (unless we get some interesting adventures in this morning :)
