news
It's my third day at work at Canterbury University and a strong North Westerly is blowing (i.e it's rather hot). Emmm...that's about all the news I have I'm afraid.
moving Guatemalans
Organic or emergent are probably the best adjectives to describe public transport in Guatemala. Then again, they'd be useful descriptors of many things in Guatemala ;). There are buses (aka chicken buses), minivans and pickup trucks. The buses seem to be the most structured, with known schedules that are generally followed, except when your driver is sleeping off a hangover from the previous day's festival. Minivans seem to be semi-structured, where a number of drivers compete for clients on routes between smaller towns, but seem to do so in a known or regular fashion.
