Did you know that...


They drive British way here! Yup, i was embarassed to find that out by myself outside of the airport. It is totally mind-wrecking at *everytimes* we cross the streets here! Right now, we (group of volunteers) are starting to forget which direction the American way drive! ;) Maybe it will be best if i dont drive immediately at my arrival back home.

Something else is odd here. You know, the locals here tend to do it in Jamaican time. They are usually laid-back and *always* say "No problem, mon." This is a contradiction to their driving skills/style! They drive insanely, yes, worse than Italians! The mini-buses speed up frenzily and the cars normally pass around the slower vehicles on single-lanes. How can this be? They cannot take it easy like Jamaican-style on the road. The locals always laugh at this oddity.

Nope, the police do not moderate the driving speed here but... only check if the DRIVER (not the passengers) is wearing Seat belts. How considerating.
