It seems as though the taxi and bus drivers are constantly confused. So much honking. I just realized they honk to get your attention to offer you a ride. Also, in reverse technique they raise their hand out the window and at YOU for you to choose them as your means of transportation. If your shoelace is hanging in the street behind you they will honk. I´m sure.
We actually witnessed a car accident yesterday and in shock the driver who got hit, reasonably got out of his car to assess the damage and the collective bus (WITH NO TIME SCHEDULE TO ADHERE TO) honked for 3 minutes straight. What is the reason? Silly drivers.
Today we took a double decker tour through Lima which was an additional tour included in our original tour to see more Inca ruins. Anywho, on our way to the ruins there was a huge area for drivers to receive their license and the drivers practiced not individually but in a very car filled road in this educational driving center and Kevin and I joked. This is where they learn to honk. It must be true.
In one very fancy restaurant I went in (for bathroom use only) I noticed right as I entered the restroom facility there was a wall filled with hand towel dispensers, soap dispensers and what the heck? A toilet seat cover dispenser. The idea here is that the restaurant owners seek to suit their bathrooms for possibly Americans or Canadians. Whatever countries carry toilet seat covers. But THEIR dispenser was empty. They realized, in our countries we flush paper. This does not work for Peru. Hence, the empty dispencer looking like it knows what it´s doing on the wall by the entrance of the bathroom.
