The people
The driving
The traffic here is a big problem, is stressful, since everyone drive very
fast and dangerously, even if they are not in a hurry. The horns don’t stop sounding; the
traffic lights are decorative, the traffic rules don’t seem to exist, it is a generalized chaos.
Crossing the street is a real challenge. After a long time observing the locals, I concluded
that in the middle of all that chaos there is a technique. When there is a clearing between
the cars, take a deep breath, raise your hand towards the cars as a “Stop” sign, close your
eyes, run, and hope that everything goes well… Luckily, I survived!
