Big cities mean waiting at cross-roads

Funny how you can discover cultures also by how you cross a big road. Vietnam was DEFINITELY the most intense (slalom between full speed, non stop, scooters), and ANY road crossing seems easy since then... Here, the people actually stop at the red light (probably because they drive so crazily when it becomes green). The place is a traffic mess, it's a pain in the ass to get around (we've given up on buses, what a maze...) but we walk tons, which is nice and the Subte (metro) is great (personally, I love the mosaics on the walls in old metros like this one).
