You know you're in Cbba when...
You know that you are officially in Cochabamba when you sit in your car at an intersection, stopped, and yet cars in your lane of traffic, cars coming the other way, and cars crossing the intersection continue along their merry way. And as you sit there watching the continual flow of cars, you think to yourself, man I sure didn't think I was color blind... because last time I checked, that traffic light is RED! :)

I remember being in Germany and wishing I had so much as a Yugo to take up on the no-speed-limit Autobahn.
ReplyDeleteI took a taxi one day and we got up on the Autobahn - all the taxis there are BMW's. I thought surely this guy is going to open it up!
Nope! 200 sports cars on that highway going who knows how fast and I'm riding with the one guy trying to conserve petrol by driving 50 mph in the far right lane!
Umph!
Be careful at those intersections!

I can totally relate. The "right of way" rules in Benin seem to be the one with the biggest vehicle has the right away. Of course there also seems to be a "guts factor". In other words, you have to have enough guts to just jump out there sometimes, no matter how big your vehicle is, or you will never get through. Ha!
