The traffic here is nuts. There is no doubt about it. However by day two I am finding that I am not raising my eyebrows anymore and my blood pressure is low and I care not that our bus driver is pulling out perpendicular to the large city bus, and that on our right are four motorcycle buses and four jeepneys crammed full of passengers within six inches of our vehicle. Meanwhile the horse pulling the cart is taking its time, and the cyclist is weaving in and out of everyone. The color, sound, air pollution, and sheer variety depends on what region of the city we are in and indeed what street we are on.
