Crazy Traffic

The traffic is mental here... Apparently some tourists have a really difficult time crossing the road. There's no lights for pedestrians so you just have to barge through the traffic... You look up a road which is choc-a-bloc with speeding cars, vans, buses, motorbikes and can't even imagine yourself crossing it. But if you need to cross, then there's no other option. You basically just have to walk and the majority of cars swerve to avoid you and you try to stop and start to make the best of the gaps, keeping your tummy and arse tucked in tightly while two buses sandwich you to a hair's breadth... Exiting stuff.
Here a short video generically found on the web.

Hey Conor, always so nice reading you... thanks for bringing excitement in my office life and for taking those unbearable risks for us; please watch your steps when crossing the street and keep this marvellous blog alive, we are reading and we are addicted!
Take care,
Marguerite.

OK OK so I fugured out the comment thing !!! (tres occupe at the mo). Blog is good - might get a book out of it if you can double the humour and expand on some of the characters you meet along the way....
