A Little Something Random

randomparking.jpg

I saw this on the bus on my way to work. Two things made me fumble for my camera to snap a photo of it. First of all, someone got really creative with finding parking. I don’t see a ticket, so that’s even cooler. Second of all, you have three cars, each facing in various direction. Which makes me think of the whole issue of which side of the road people drive on in the UK. It was one of those things guaranteed to confuse. I adapted pretty quickly, but the tricky part are side roads. Now, in the US, they are pretty anal about which direction you parallel park. It would be helpful in the UK because you could use it as a guide to see which way to look. I hope this picture proves that is not the case 🙂

Anyhoo, I’ve been very lazy with my posting. I have three or four stewing that I need to put down. But in the meantime, hope you enjoyed this meaningless and random post.

    I love how the street looks like Shaun of the Dead! I love that movie… 🙂

    People are a little more lively than in Shaun of the Dead tho 🙂 . The drivers are insane, the buses drive like they are small cars and there are bicyclists everywhere (very cool! I’ll have to write about that once I have a bike here and don’t have one office pretty far away).

    I want that car in the middle…what kind is it?

    That’s a smart car. I believe they’ll be coming to the US pretty soon. In fact, I think early next year. They can allegedly even be driven on the highway and the price isn’t looking too absurd, but I still think, for the size, it should be damn cheap.
