The first bicycle accident!

The first bicycle accident that I saw happened a few days ago. I don't really know what happened, but saw two teenagers and a bicycle on the ground. They were laughing (except for the bike, of course). So nothing severe. I don't know if they were both on the bike and crashed or if one guy was trying to jump on. But it is another proof of the statistics. Most bicycle accidents happen without anybody else involved. Driver's fault...

I saw violence for the first time, too. A policeman was kicking a street vendor in his rear-end a few times. Not sure what happened. I do know that for a peaceful country there are way too many armed persons here. Even the police wears machine guns as if they came straight from Afghanistan. Ever since some GI's scared the living daylights out of me when I was a little kid I was never too fond of uniformed people. And having to deal with the Bundeswehr after High School didn't improve on my opinion. Let's just say that even for the admin offices you don't necessarily have to have the biggest brain power. Thank goodness I din't have to go to that Kindergarten. It was enough to hear the stories from my brother.

Oh, now let's see if anyone is still reading: How much did I pay for the bananas in the picture???

And how much did I pay for the moskito net that supposedly has a repellent that keeps insects off the net???
