SO I was thinking while coming home...

As I was coming from my farm to my normal hose, I noticed that there were many "things" wrong with the Moroccan roads that shoudn't be. Let me give an eample, one of our tires was flat out so we decided to go to the nearest city and have it fixed. The closest city at that time was berchid, and at about 10:00 PM we were gonna crach into a big circle that they have here, in all of Morroco, where cars coming from many different directions go around that circle and exit in the direction they disere. Now the problem with this was that there was nothing to indicate that there was a big giant circle of concrete in the middle of the road, and the silly thing is those were just addaded in that specific place so many people did not know about them.

When I finaly arrived at Casablanca, the city where my home is, I had to go to my aunt's hose to get my medical report for the school, so we went slowly and causly on the road. As we were getting neer to a turn, a motorcycle passed us even though we wern't gonna turn and turned. This rilly worried us because if my dirver was not aware that the guy had passed us and was intending to turn left we were going to crash into him, and the mistake would be our because we bumped into him.

As we approched the house I noticed that there were exesive amounts of speed bumps. In the past when I was in more civilized countries as Canda I never saw a single speed bump. I notice now that there are speed bumps everyware, and I think that the governemt thinks that this will reduce the speed which is wrong. The fact that a "crazy person" will go fast if there is a speed bump or not is true because he does not care about the car, he cared about the speed. And people who have a tendancy to move slowly will still move slowly.
