I forgot...

...I forgot to add the Peruvian info for the day. Mmm the traffic.

Pedestrians definitely do not come first. If you were in the way of a car in the street and he had room to swerve, I´m pretty sure he wouldn´t. The traffic here is insane- uses horns to communicate (meaning as they approach an intersection they honk and hope there aren´t cars coming the other way). I´ve seen one speed limit sign in my month here and that was going around a curve, but I asked my mom and she said speed limits do exist.. It´s funny cause traffic won´t stop for you if you want to cross a street but ticos (taxis), buses and combis will do anything to stop if you want a ride. Today my combi home from the university was pulling out in front of a bunch of buses and saw I wanted to get on (if you want to catch a taxi, etc here you just sit out your hand waste level-it´s really different) and stopped in the middle of everything for me to board...jaja, however once you step on, they go, and so holding on while you find a seat is always an adventure.

That´s your tidbit for the day..chau chau
