I could not turn anywhere, I could not back up because a huge crowd of people had surrounded the car.<BR/><BR/>I had no real choice except to try and go forward. <BR/><BR/>The people were kind and simply picked up their wares and backed up as I passed, very very slowly. As I passed, they would go back to their spot and resume their sales.<BR/><BR/>That is not behavior you'd see in the good old USA, is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
