Wild, wild West
The road around Quezon Memorial Circle: eight lanes of trucks, buses, cars, jeepneys and motorcycles weaving in and out of their lanes; coming from the innermost lane to turn right at any of the six avenues radiating from it; coming in from those six avenues and promptly driving onto the innermost lane. It's a good thing I don't drive. When we're caught on that road during rush hour, I always close my eyes.
We call those "suicide exits" - since sometimes, taking the lane risks your life.
ReplyDeleteHehe we don't have that in Butuan. Hehe. Oh and Hilda I'm posting the photos I took when I went to Manila at my Sunset Mindanao blog. My mom and I went riding the calesa. You bet I got a ton of photos during my trip there. hehe
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit! and YES she is HUGE!! Come to Lisbon and you will find many alike! Love, from Lisbon!
ReplyDeleteTraffic is probably like that in most large urban cities around the world. I sometimes close my eyes too when driving in Boston:)
ReplyDeletehehehe
ReplyDeleteSimilar to the traffic around L'arc de Triomphe in Paris - where the hub has 12 spokes!
Today, "Louis et Mme. la Vache celebrate their first anniversary
Hilda, "Louis" noticed your comment at Sailor Girl's Atlantico Azul. Here's another ship, bigger than the one Sailor Girl showed!
ReplyDeleteclose ur eyes so, who is the driver?? (hak..3x)
ReplyDeleteI am so not a fan of circles while driving but you got a great shot of this!
ReplyDeleteBefore I read that second-to-last sentence, I was gonna say: "And you took a picture while driving?!" :)
ReplyDeleteTraffic is one of my big fears, too. It's pretty bad here in the northeast USA, and if I thought I could get away without driving, I would!
I think I would close my eyes too :)
