I've only been here 6 weeks but I've always died about 5 times now.
What the hell is the deal with pedestrian crossings? The pinnacle of traffic enlightenment! I mean, who needs clear guidelines for pedestrian safety, right? It's truly a mystery. Drivers, the real heroes of the road, just love playing the "let's see if they'll move" game. Some even accelerate for that added adrenaline rush while pedestrians play a thrilling game of chicken.
I'm just dying to crack the code on how to master these pedestrian puzzle zones. Perhaps there's a secret society with a handbook on gracefully tiptoeing through crosswalks without upsetting the delicate balance of chaos. If you professional expats or perma-tourists can fill this old guy in. Even at green walk signals I am almost getting murdered.
And oh, the cultural and historical context – it must be like decoding ancient hieroglyphs. Were crosswalks designed in a bygone era when everyone rode horses and carriages? Or are they just remnants of a time when people believed in the mythical concept of "traffic courtesy"?
Clearly, I'm missing out on the rich tapestry of crosswalk culture. Maybe one day, I'll uncover the hidden truths behind these pedestrian performance spaces. Until then, let the great crosswalk conundrum continue to baffle us all!
