Tue 14th June - Random observations

• I’ve never come across so many stutterers. I work with two who have it strongly I have met at least 3 or 4 other people who stutter.
• At least 75% of all cars on the road are taxis.
• The cars here are beyond decrepit, I have been in taxis where the back doors are held on by one hinge, where the indicators switch is broken and has been replaced by the rocker-switch that used to the fan speed, where every window in the vehicle has a major impact crack on it – but which are all still used … replete with current warrant and insurance! Additionally, it appears all suspension is removed when a car is imported.
• Nothing is ever fixed or maintained here, just run into the ground. Cars, buildings, you name it. In the main bank branch, with about 30 people working in it, there is 1 loo that works, out of 5. I reduced it from 2 working loos to 1 today by breaking off the metal flush lever. Unfortunately it fell straight into the bowl…before I’d flushed a No.2 away.
• Toilet paper – the worst I have ever come across. No strength at all. Seems the same everywhere I’ve been. Even if you fold the two-ply 3 or 4 times your finger will still go through (depending on Technique of course). Best toilet paper I’ve come across? On a Swiss train: 3 ply, quilted, must have been aloe-vera soaked too.
