Today I forgot a book I needed at home so I needed to easily go from university to the dorm and back again. Walking to the dorm from the university takes about 20 minutes one-way trip so therefore I asked to borrow Katta's bike. This is the first time since I came here that I've used a bike but thankfully I remembered how to do it. But pedling and getting forward is easy, adapting to the traffic and following the traffic rules here with a bike was a lot harder then I imagined. First I tried to figure out what the rules was, when I thought about it I realized, there is no rules here for bicycle. Everyone is cycling a bit everywhere, on the street or the sidewalk whatever feels more convenient in the moment. The only thing I did was utterly stupid was going on the right side until I remembered that it's left-traffic here and not like in Sweden. But I managed to survive my bike-trip somehow! I've been thinking of getting a bike for a long time but after this trip I am not that certain that it would be good for my health, with my normal high speeds and this lack of good roads would probably kill me. Some reconsideration is in place I think.
I was on a bus trip the last weekend, I'll try to upload most of the photos I took here later.
