Ramallah is a city of about 40,000 people, and it seems that every single one of them has a car, likes to double park and has no hesitation about stopping in the middle of the street to chit-chat with their friends. Crossing the downtown ‘core’, which is the equivalent of about 4 square blocks, takes forever. Much better to take side roads, detours, dirt tracks and alleyways. Of course I have no idea where these are, where they lead or where I am, so I tend to stick to the main roads. Me and the double-parkers.
Hard to get a good picture of the traffic insanity of a small town like this that is worse than 5th Ave. on a Monday morning, but I will continue to try. In the meantime, check out my attempts and other recent pics on my Flickr account (link on the right).
