Ladies & Gentlemen,

I am traveling out of the country right now of business. Let me describe to you my morning commute and then guess where I am!

1) I get picked up at my hotel in a right-hand drive Toyota Land Cruiser (A Prado actually)

2) Driver turns down a two-lane street into three lanes on on-coming traffic.

3) In front of me is a three-wheeled "Jeepnee-style" taxi that is emitting slightly less black smoke than the USS Germantown (LSD-42) traveling at a flank bell.

4) On my left is a E-Class Mercedes sedan

5) Behind me is a long line of light motorcycles that pass us on both sides every few seconds.

6) On my right is oncoming traffic; including more motorcycles and and three-wheeled "taxis".

7) Lastly, if you took the horns out of car here, the population would become functionally mute. (The car horn seems to be the most commonly used communication device in the country.)

In the spirit of EB.com, one last hint; I paid about $7.50 for a pint of Heineken at the hotel bar
