Street Etiquette

Winding down narrow streets, past the Go Go Iron Works, the Hail Stone Restaurant, beauty palaces, stupas with prayer flags. To get to the lane going in the opposite direction, one inches the car across oncoming traffic, as bicycles, motorcyles and cars stream around, until one is free to move into the lane. The close calls are too many, but they always seem to be near misses instead of hits, and the traffic here is not half so bad as in other countries.
