A chaotic and random display where there are few rules of the road to keep the constant current of mopeds, motorcycles, tuk tuks, bicycles, and few cars orderly and predictable.... but there is a certain order within the chaos that keeps everyone from crashing into each other... as a pedestrian, there is no right of way-- you just got to find an opening and jump in!
The air is thick, heavy, and hot! Many unidentifiable smells loom in the air from sunrise and into the evening. The streets are lined with food stalls, fruit and vegetable carts, and tiny storefronts selling everything from moped tire repairs, petro, clothing, and everyday simple items...
The people are warm and friendly... most are very poor but there is a small minority of middle class, revealed only by the presence of luxury cars, boutiques, finer restaurants, and higher- end stores. Lack of education and an atmosphere of corruption keep the greater majority of the population from rising out of poverty....
