Few words and a bunch of photos. I missed getting some fully loaded bikes, like the one I saw yesterday carrying dozens and dozens of eggs. Also missed my favourite – women riding side-saddle, heads held high – very elegant. They stay on effortlessly!
Check these out and yes, do the 2 click to get up close – look at the faces.
See the little guy in the gold/blue shirt – plays for the Seminyak roosters.
Hundreds of cars, trucks, bikes, motor bikes and pedestrians shuffle themselves through this intersection hourly – beep, beep – without swearing, fist waving, or even flipping the bird! No traffic lights, give way signs or traffic cops. As a walker, I call it the ‘leap of faith’ – it’s proof there’s a higher power when you get across in one piece.
I’ve heard that teaching young girls martial arts, not only arms them with self-protection skills, but also builds their sense of self-respect. Abuse of young women and women of all ages, I think, is a big deal here. These girls are about to ride into my favourite inter-section. I watched them make it with fingers crossed.
Check out the cool glasses on the geezer over her right shoulder.
Love this little character.
Well, you get the idea. Beep, Beep!
Wonderful photos, Jerry – so full of Life!
Love, Cathy Lee

I can’t believe how many people can fit on one bike and so casually placed, babies and all!
It’s true Nickie and there are lot of Aussies killed here every year in traffic accidents.

Not surprised at accidents there – the sights and sounds must be amazing – like Nickie, I am in awe at how many are on a bike – I take it, helmets are not mandatory there too – what sweet innocent faces! Doesn’t one wonder where they are all going?
xxoo
All over the planet, people are rushing here and there, like ants on a mission.
