Road toll to date....

Some art work just down the road from my place,
11 de noviembre, Belgrano.

One pair of black Warehouse sneakers.
 Two taxis roaring around the corners
 at night without their lights on.
Three pairs of socks.
A large green and white bus that whizzed 20 centimeters past my heel as I tiredly looked the wrong way.
At least half a dozen kamikaze motorbike guys, some with their helmets perched on the back of their heads, talking on cell phones and smoking cigarettes.
A couple of people on pushbikes hurtling down pedestrian walkways yelling 'guadar, guardar' (watch out)
One police car hurtling through the pedestrian 'go' signal.

All this in the space of three months. I have, hopefully, now developed a good set of antennas to help me navigate the crazy streets of Capital Federal!
I do, however, kinda like the element of thrill 
seeking and lawlessness of this place.
Fingers crossed. Radar on.
