i do think i made the right decision tho. sometimes i wish i could adventured more or traveled more but i really dont feel like this is the end of my adventure you know. im not sad/upset about it bc its the right decision.
anyhow since im leaving soon i thought i might do some speed posts about smaller topics so here we go this post: Traffic!
okay traffic in trujillo is crazy there are ZERO stops very few and srupidly place traffic lights. there are many roundabouts that you must be mad or very quick to cross. i prefer to cross further fromthe roundabouts. sometimes it feels a bit like russian roulette or it did at first. now im better at it. i am the ONLY person with road rage. and i dont drive. im a very angsty pedestrian no one ever yells at cars only me. i guess this isnt in chicago. okay well maybe not that many people yet at cars in chicago either. the buses are madness they come usually every five minutes they are privatized and maybe or mayb not regulated with govt standards? its costs about 30 cents(american) to get to huanchaco beach town and 60 cents to get to work. it costs me a dollar to get a cab to the mall but usually i just take the bus. it costs a dollar to the center but i usually walk. i walk to the grocery stre and the laundromat. most cars here are taxis the next most popular are old vw bugs. there a a few fancy cars but none that i really recognize. okay times up at the internet place. i guess ill go then? eh. i try to walk most places as long as its not stupidly hot. oh and there are no lights at the roundabouts and the taxi drivers are generally maniacs drive fast when someone is in them slow when theres not. they sometimes try to cheat me but usualy stand my ground.
okay not sure what ill talk about tomorrow. or whenever i post next.
ciao hope all is well!
