Guess what I saw this evening!?
This evening I was walking along among the traffic, looking for somewhere to eat, when a woman with a badly bleeding, and bandaged, head went past on her motorbike (or, possibly, electric-powered bike).
The blood was pouring out from under the bandage.
What made matters worse was that the traffic was appalling and there were pre-storm gale-force (I’m not sure if it was really gale-force, but bear with me) winds. She was also carrying a small child on the motorbike!! My guess is that she injured herself and was making her way to the clinic but had nobody to take care of the child.
She then had a minor collision with a pair of pedestrians, who, though having a green light, failed to continually look all directions as they crossed.
This country doesn’t actually have any footpaths for pedestrians, because if there is any larger vehicle than you (and that includes bikes, motorbikes or whatever) then they can honk you out of the way. That’s not what I regard as a footpath.
What a situation.
Hi james,
Goodmorning! Happy Easter.
Well…about the situation you have seen last night…i guess it’s really a terrible one…thats why..we have to be alert and cautious everytime we go out for something……its really dangerous….And onething I observe in this country is…if you are being hit or endured..nobody cares to help you…and those situations we see are proofs of these observations. It’s really terrible!

Hi Efren,
Yes. I find the roads really quite scary here. I really want to deliver myself home in one piece at the end of all this. So I’m being doubly careful on the road and footpath.
No doubt I’ll see you in the office over the next few days.
James
