seats 2? I don't think so...

today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up, I noticed something I see all the time, and have become used to. If there is such a thing..


1. a motorcycle. Not a scooter, a motorcycle. On this motorcycle was a dad driving, and a mom riding behind him. Not so unusual. How do I know they were a mom and dad? because in front of the dad, were two small toddlers, both wearing helmets (an oddity) and behind him, the mom was holding a newborn. 5 on a motorcycle, going down the highway.

2. a man, driving a SUV, while holding a newborn, while talking on a cellphone.


There are no real rules about carseats that I can see in this country.

About a month ago, I got initiated here, and rode in the back of a pick-up truck home from work. This is the general means of transportation. If you have a pick-up, expect to pick up people and give them rides. I'm still not sure how people balance on the edges of the truck bed. I felt bounced around sitting in the middle of it!
