Scooters

After a few hours sleep, we got a taxi to the office.
The traffic is amazing. There is just a swarm of scooters. No-one stops or gives way. Everyone just keeps moving and flowing. Scooters will miss cars and each other by millimetres but there are no collisions and everyone is perfectly calm.
To cross the road you have to just walk, slowly, into the traffic and trust the scooters to flow around you. If you hesitate, they will keep going and you will never make progress.
A lot of masks worn but it didn’t feel as polluted as I had expected.
People carry anything on a scooter... whole families, boxes, building supplies... we reached peak scooter when we saw a scooter with another scooter on the back.
The afternoon meetings were a bit meh - a sales pitch from the outsourcing company followed by a lot of scene-setting for the project. Then back to the hotel before taxiing out again to “the Secret Garden” - a restaurant in the top of a residential block - had to walk up a tatty staircase. The whole thing was rough enough to feel “authentic” whilst still being tourist friendly.
We then walked through the central District One with modern tower blocks and lots of young people hanging out.
An hour-long walk back to the hotel and bed...
