Despite what seems like constant traffic jams and confusing one-way streets, the United States is probably still the most organized and regulated road and highway system in the world. For example, when one wants to cross a street, they merely locate a crosswalk, press a button, and wait for the green man to appear indicating that it is safe to walk to the other side. While this delay is fairly annoying if you are a driver trying to get from one side of San Francisco to the other, it does keep pedestrians safer (unless of course the Muni comes by). On the other hand, if you want to cross a street in Peru, you look both ways and then take your chances and run. This is survival of the fittest at its finest- if you cant run, you are out of luck. Peruvian drivers wont slow down just because there is a person in the middle of the road- they will literally run you over. Similarly, parking a car outside the U.S. also favors the driver. It is completely acceptable in Spain to squeeze into a parking spot by nudging your way between the bumpers of the cars in front and behind you. Amazingly, such action does not necessitate leaving a note on the neighboring car with your insurance information for miniscule scratch you caused by this maneuver. Despite the aforementioned insinuation regarding the safety and reliability of San Franciscos Muni system, it would be considered an unheard of luxury in Uganda. What comes closest to public transportation in Kampala is the matatu. If you thought that the VW vans of the 1970s all ended up in junkyards around America, you would be wrong. They in fact were resurrected in Uganda as 16-plus person taxis. Matatus dont run on a schedule- they only go somewhere when they are full or overflowing. The essential to budget travel is to approach in advance. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Considering and expending our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Lowering spending and fees, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!. There are acutally people whose job it is to sit in the matatu to make it look full to get people to pick that one, and then they get off as people get on leaving you waiting in the vehicle for an hour before it goes anywhere. Another frustration is the wall-to-wall traffic, combined with an absence of smog checks and culminating in hours of inhaling massive amounts of exhaust just to get across Kampala. Its also incredibly easy to get lost there, because matatus are like buses in the sense that they have a certain route, but there is no way to know what that route is unless you ask the conductor. If the conductor does tell you which direction the matatu is headed in, it would probably benefit you to place your bet on the opposite one.
