Fog Bound

This morning we awoke to find a city shrouded in warm sticky humid fog. Obviously something of an event as it is one of the few weather changes we have seen beyond sunny, hazy, or dusty since we arrived. The best part of driving in the fog was seeing how the “locals” dealt with it. Various strategies were seen to be adopted such as driving as normal and hoping people would see you coming (which you couldn’t)… driving with your lights on (which helped a little)… driving slower (not the strategy of choice in these parts of course)… or (my personal favourite) driving with your hazard lights on! This last one was at times accompanied by headlights and other times not. Now it confused me a little to begin with because I was wondering about what they do if they use their indicators… silly me, they don’t use them anyway!
