    watch for a white car about 3/4 through the vid that enters the vid at a junction on the top and drives against traffic to cross the junction


    and for a woman carrying bags about a 1/4 of the way through that nearly gets squeezed by a bike and car on the bottom junction

    Driving there is hard when you are not used to it.

    It kinda reminds me of downtown Cairo, only Cairo has a few more unmarked lanes, way more traffic and way more pedestrians running accross the road.

    I noticed the speeds are generally MUCH lower then over here, with much more vigilant driving (I mean you have to, otherwise it is suicide)

    That and the roads are not smooth enough to speed on.

    I remember driving on one 'motorway' and "oscillating" along at any normal motorway speed.

    Based on the video, it looks like if you get in a wreck you just keep going. That's why you never see them.

    It seems to be like Rome or Mexico City; traffic moves according to its own logic...crazy to the outsider, totally normal to the natives.
