DON AND TANIA LIBERIA PARTNERS: Liberia VS Canada

I live in beautiful Prince Edward County. Home of Sandbanks Provincial Park, Huff Estates Winery, Historical Picton, and loads of scenic lakes and views. I love my part of Canada, but this time of year brings with it the return migration of the tourist, and with tourists comes traffic! I was thinking today about the traffic mayhem that I deal with in the summer and how different it is in Liberia. My traffic craziness is nothing compared to that. One example is; In Liberia you honk before changing lanes, this lets everyone around you know your intentions. Here we use signal lights for that. Now, we also don't have motorbikes whizzing past us in between cars with whole families on them. In Liberia it is common for one truck to carry the load of two and people to hang on to the sides and back of vehicles. It is wild. In Canada it is common to see a vehicle with one person in it, at least in Liberia, well most of West Africa, that is very rare. One could even say it is the ultimate form of reducing your commuting carbon foot print. Well, at least it would be if it wasn't for all the diesel gas that is used. My husband (Don) drives in Liberia and enjoys it! I may even try this November, we'll see! Driving is like most things in West Africa, it's not done "our" way but it works, and we don't need to change it or "fix" it, we just need to relax and go along for the ride.
