Rush Hour

Even Addis Ababa has a morning rush hour. It took 30 minutes to get to the office this morning, but along the way I enjoyed people watching. The roadways cut through communities with few pedestrian bridges. Even the few bridges that you see are hardly used since it’s customary for people to simply dash across the road and hop the median wall in the middle. This morning two men were carrying a wooden door across the road. They set it on top of the median wall as they waited for a lull in traffic and then ran across the rest of the way.
