Paul Walker...odd, yet not
Do you know who Paul Walker is? He's the actor from the Fast and the Furious who recently died in a car crash. Normally, I wouldn't have known his name nor would I have remembered this news clip, but apparently it's huge news here in Bogota. Every day, I have heard about it from a minimum of 2 people which I think is really strange...or at least I thought so. However, after today, it seems more natural that the people of this fine city would be super interested in an extended movie series (they were in the middle of shooting Fast & Furious 7) that revolves around fast cars and dangerous situations. Furthermore, they have even greater interest in one's ability to crash and die in a motor vehicle accident. Part of the reason for that is the sheer number of cars on the road here which creates a massive amount of traffic. Therefore, typically, it wouldn't be possible for a motor vehicle operator to move fast enough to get into a deadly crash...PERO, A VECES...

Amy it is impressive how Bostonians complain about traffic in the streets until they go to one country in South America and realize what is really crazy traffic :D!... I'm from Peru btw, in Lima driving is just a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Honestly, the traffic getting onto Storrow Drive when there's a game at the Garden and/or a game at Fenway is pretty comparable to the traffic here. hahaha! The biggest difference between the traffic of the 2 cities is what makes up the traffic. Crazy!
DeleteThe streets sound like being in Asia!
