Most people here have scooters as their means of transportation. It makes sense. Most of the streets are pretty narrow and scooters are easy to navigate in tight spots.
There are also a lot of cars and bicycles. But one mode of transportation really stands out. There are still some people who use horse drawn carts.
I was walking back from the mercado a few days ago when an older man passed me in his horse drawn cart. What made it stand out was the fact he had affixed a California license plate to the back. I wish I´d had my camera with me. I need to make it a point of carrying it with me.
One sound I´m still getting used to is the mobile advertising. People will mount huge speakers in their car trunks and affix a megaphone in top and drive down the streets announcing sales and upcoming dances.
And even candidates in this Sunday´s local election use the same method. I guess it´s more effective that 30-second TV spots.
I wonder what would happen in candidates in the US did this?
