Amazing!

It is amazing the things you see on, or along, the street!

A big truck followed by a pickup with an old style sound system for blaring advertising and a little tuk tuk going slowing along the side of the road. Looks pretty tiny, doesn't it?! Do you remember that's the way we used to travel before we got our car?  This picture gives it a little bit of perspective.

How high can you stack it? This high . . . .


This high . . .


And this high . . . . all you need is higher rails!


  Sorry this is a little blurry, (it was moving pretty fast), but as you can see, you can take anything home on a motorcycle. We have seen boxes six feet tall standing on end between two people, supplies for an entire sidewalk shop, a family of six, --- nearly anything can, and does, travel on a motorcycle.

Move your cattle in a pickup--no problem.

Safety is always of the utmost importance!

as you can see . . .



This brave lady walks the streets selling her wares and deals with whatever traffic there is. I've seen them  walk beside huge semi-trucks and not even seem to blink their eye. This is a very common way for people to sell--no overhead cost and they can cover a large market area. They sell everything from sausages and drinks, noodles, fruits and vegetables, to brooms, kids toys, and garden tools. Anything that can be pushed on a cart is available this way. If there is no way to pass because of busy traffic, then cars move at the walker's pace. We followed her for a way this day.

I have never seen a lawnmower of any kind here. That doesn't mean there are none, but even the fairly good sized lawns around the houses in our neighborhood are cut with weed whackers.  This is the way they mow the grass and weeds along the highway. Cars are going past them at 65-70 mph.

Sights to be continued . . . . .
