Cosas raros...

Some things here and strangely and delectably upside down.

- Yesterday as I was passing the intersection of where a road crosses the train tracks (there´s no safety barrier) , I saw that a train had arrived at the crossing at the same time as a line of cars. Guess who reversed: not the cars, no no. The whole TRAIN reversed back to allow the cars to pass.

- Today my lesson was interrupted by about 7 traditional parades all passing by our classroom window one after the other. Among the parades was a protest of a group demanding justice for the families of Peruvian terrorists. Not the victim´s families, no no: the actual families of the terrorists themselves. Apparently no group exists that lobbies for the victims...

- Pretty much every car here thinks its a taxi. We´re told to try to avoid fake taxis, which can be identified by their large "Taxi" stickers in the window....?!

- Yesterday while walking home from town I noticed a man dressed as a giant wedge of cheese standing on the median of the carriageway. He waved. As if that wasn´t amusing enough, I then passed an employee (presumably of the restaurant cheese-man was advertising) AND the restaurant security guard throwing handfuls of cold spaghetti over the cars and at the cheese-man. You really can´t make this stuff up...
