Sand... Lots of It.

Arriving at night, its very little what I could see in a Country I've never being at before. And so I waited 'til the next Day and found out how different it is from the organized world I came from. Forget about pedestrians having the right of way and turning lights.

Hectic as I could ever imagine, even more than my place of birth Venezuela, where driving its not the best ever, I can easily qualify this city as one of the most reckless driving places there are in the world.

And just to make it clear I don't mean to disrespect anything about this country which I completely respect and found very amusing in many ways, but I do find unusual several aspects of it, like it is with any other situation or place anyone have ever seen before and I do apologize if I offend someone at any giving moment.




As old as this might be, it certainly is way more reliable than a car with a pinched tire.
