Taxi Ride

On Thursday and Friday morning, Ricky and I take a taxi to the middle school. I've been talking about the crazy traffic patterns here so I decided to bring my camera with me to record the trip so you can see for yourself. I made two recordings, one on Thursday and one on Friday. Friday's was a bit better but I decided to upload them both. It is difficult to get the big picture from the limited view of the camera but I did manage to capture some of the ordinary but spectacularly crazy things you can see on the road.


The blue trucks you see are usually driven by government laborers and I call them wheelbarrow trucks because they only have one wheel in the front. The tall, skinny vehicles you see are also taxies (sort of a motorized bike) but I am told they are not safe so I avoid them. At the end of day 2, the cars with pink balloons on top are wedding cars that are taking guests from a ceremony to a reception.


The driver is a friend of Ricky's but don't ask me what they are talking about because I have no idea.
