You Can Fit Anything on a Scooter.


I have just about 2 months of anecdotal proof that you can meet all you your transportation needs with a Vespa.

Need to carry a new door home? Easy. It's all about balance.

Grandma needs to go somewhere with her wheel chair? Clearly the most practical solution is to keep her in the chair and tie it to the back of the scooter with a bit of rope. Hang on Granny.

It's raining? No big deal. Cover yourself with a trash bag and take to the streets.
 
Family of five out for an outing? Dogs? Chickens? Furniture? You are limited only by your imagination.

Now combine this with the fact that there are no apparent road rules and the knowledge that nobody in the village has had a drivers license for more than 5 years. Cars are that new here.

The result. Chaos.

Here's a picture of the evening traffic from my bedroom window. Can you tell which direction traffic is supposed to be heading? I didn't think so.
