I have procrastinated long enough.
We had an interesting weekend. I'll get to it in a minute. Another interesting thing I noticed about traffic is that when there is a signalized intersection vehicles with 4 or more wheels obey the lights, vehicles with less that 4 wheels ignore the lights.
Last friday, it started raining before we gotup in the morning and did not stop for 2 days. It was difficult to walk around without getting wet. the water in the streets was sometimes ankle deep you had to walk through. Friday I took the pictures of students I took during the week to a photo store to have printed to put on the student info cards I had the students fill out. I picked them up Saturday. Most the street vendors were not out during the rain.
Sunday there were about 18 at church. We had a full block of meetings. Church as usual, we just expect to be asked to participate. I helped bless the sacrement. Getting up from kneeling was a challenge.
This is a better picture of a lady that cleans the street. She is walkingback from in front of the bus where she was cleaning up stuff off the middle of the road. Notice her brooms, the large one is to sweep the street, the small is to help picup debris.
Today we rode the subway to the city center and got off at the Bell Tower. I had asked another teacher for directions to walmart. I was told to walk east on the street that goes east from the bell tower until I get to a promenade. Turn right down the promenade and walk to the end and you will see the walmart sign. That is what the pictue is. The only sign on the street. It pointed thru some doors that looked like they went to a baskin robins and a chinese icecream stand. We when in and there was an esclator going down that at the bottom had a sign over the esclator that said Walmart.
We went down and there was a full size walmart, not abig open area but isleways going off in all directions with the various items for sale, a read maze.
These men are cleaningthe side of the old hotel that is part of XISU. I am not sure if the also do windows.
