Transported to another world



For our first post from the other side of the world, we'll give you a taste of some of the fun things we saw on the roads here in a 15 minute walk home after lunch. They're just a smidge different than what we saw every day back in Texas! This kind of cart is extremely common.

I haven't yet figured out what they're carrying but there must be a lot of it - these pull-cartmen are everywhere!

After I had already taken this picture, he made it quite clear he hadn't wanted his picture taken!
I don't know what else to say, except, "cone-cycle"???

Need something advertised?


The Connell men with a donkey cart that hauls table scraps collected from small restaurants



A VERY pink bus. They come in all colors! These short ones are the ones we're told you don't want to get on. They make less stops but apparently wait for-ever............... at the ones they do make. So we take the bigger ones like the one behind it.



This is our busstop. The great thing about it is it's at the end of the line, so when you get on, you can almost always find a seat! With kids, that's a HUGE bonus!

Ethan likes the seats in the back of the bus because they sit up about 2 feet higher than the rest.


I don't know what this business sells, but you can have it delivered and in a eye-squintingly bright car too! This neon-yellow car (the make of which I've never seen in the States) was off to deliver something to someone & back again all in about 10 minutes!



Our first police-car sighting! Ethan was excited! Baxter would have been excited, but he was already asleep after his full lunch of rice & fries. (Yes, there's a place that makes great french fries just outside the gate of our university!)

This one was my (Jessica's) personal favorite! Looks like a very stylish way to get around town!
