Yikes. I'll never forget, one time in Cairo I saw so many people hanging out the side of a bus that it was literally leaning over - and gasoline was pouring out of the tank! (No gas cap of course...)

Safety first indeed. They think it's fun and don't realize how dangerous it is. Sadly such views are often seen in my country too. Bad transportation and lack of discipline are the main cause.
Nice to see you again. Good for you! All kids require yelling at once in a while especially teen-agers and young adults who tend to feel immortal and don't realize there are things worse than death like surviving being badly mangled under a train :{
I remember seeing a kid in a sailor hat doing the same thing on the back of a bus in Brooklyn when I was little girl. My mother said to me "He'll be lucky if he doesn't get killed!" I was really scared. This brought back that memory. I don't think I've seen a bus with that kind of fender recently.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE comments! To me its like getting a present from a mystery person, ok well some of you are not such a mystery... but u feel me. You can subscribe to my updates via email or in your feeder of choice. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Married 1996. Waited 2 years to start our family, LOL. Kept trying on our own, w/o intervention until 2006. Crazy, maybe but we kept thinking it would happen. 1st & only pregnancy Jan 2006, tubal, right fallopian tube removed. (I did not know I was 6 wks pregnant). 1st IVF May 2006, fresh cycle failed. Two more IVF trials & FET transfers later all failed. So we're tryin' again... 5th transfers a charm- no it failed too, chemical pregnancy. Tried a 6th FET hoping it was "the charm", it wasn't, NEGATIVE on 12-23-08. Doctor thought a good idea to remove my one remaining fallopian tube, had it ligated January 2009. 7th ET in June 2009, hoping that as my tube issue was gone this was going to be the one... wrong again, low first beta of 24 then down to 2.5. November 2009 I did some immune testing. We just finished our 4th IVF in Feb 2010 with some tweaks, a different protocol & some meds to target immune issues & got our BFP, saw 2 heartbeats. Sadly one baby stopped growing at 10w, but our little miracle arrived in Oct 2010. This blog was started as my IVF journey, but it’s outta control…so along with my IVF stories expect to read almost anything.
Think of this as the most interesting delurking project you'll ever participate in. After giving back to others at the Celebratory Society, I have decided to participate in it myself. You can understand the project in full by clicking here, but in brief, the Celebratory Society is an online festschrift for a blogger--a way for you to tell me what my blog or actions mean to you. But this isn't about me--this is about you too. And I would love it if you returned to your own blog, started your own Celebratory Society post, added it to the main project list, and gave me the opportunity to tell you about...you. Here is my link to the project: My Celebratory Society Post
Oh my God! Definitely it'll have frightened me! Fran
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose that's one way to get around - but it definitely doesn't look safe...
ReplyDeleteAfter I yelled at this kid, he responded to me "I am only going two stops..." Oh ok then, that makes riding this way ok. Nice and safe kid, smart.
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's too dangerous. hope he's fine.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least there's that handy ledge to stand on...

That's really scary. I wonder how will his parents react if they see their kids doing that?

Hokey dinah! That kid has some serious cahones! If anyone tried that here I'm sure they'd be arrested in a heartbeat. *shaking my head in disbelief*
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! Awesome picture, but what was that guy thinking?!?

ReplyDeleteNice to see you again. Good for you! All kids require yelling at once in a while especially teen-agers and young adults who tend to feel immortal and don't realize there are things worse than death like surviving being badly mangled under a train :{
ReplyDeleteWow, that is scary looking. It's amazing that you were able to snap such a clear photo while yelling at this kid!

ReplyDeleteWow, just wow...shaking my head at the illusion of immortality that children have.
