I have been getting to work on the minibus, which weaves in and out of traffic picking up anyone and stopping wherever requested. Of course it is more profitable the more one can stuff into the van. It is common for them to be playing loud dance music, so it is important to have coffee before leaving home. :) I also rode in one that had a tv screen installed and was playing MTV videos. All this for $0.50.
Now I am having to face the minibuses as a driver. I have bought a 1974 VW Beetle. Another dream realized. I have always wanted to own a bug, although I might question this desire. It is an adventure. It is in great condition as far as a 33 year old car can be. I am also having fun driving on the left side of the road and I have aspirations of learning car maintenance.

I think this is the last of my posts on introducing you to my life and now I can start moving on to what I am doing during the week and my experiences.
