Flashback - 4/3/2010 - Beep! Beep! - by Tracy Guthrie, CE Adviser in Africa


Traffic is CRAZY!! Only some of the roads are paved, and most of them are only two lanes. There is no system or driving laws. All you need is a drivers license and the courage to navigate through the chaos. The main mode of transportaion is riding a Matutu. A ride in a Matatu is an adventure in and of itself. A matatu is a 14 passenger mini-van. The matatus don't really follow the 14 passengar rule. As a matter of fact, the don't go anywhere until there is at least 20 people and it isn't strange if the passenger sitting next to you is a chicken.

Never again will I complain about crappy public transportation.
