Everything Beats Yellow String

No one can say that people here aren't resourceful. I mean, when you contend with daily psychotic automobile traffic, wouldn't you go a little nuts? I myself nearly got mowed down by a Land Cruiser from Save the Children. Nothing is sacred.
I guess that can explain why, on our way back to the Hotel Karibu last night, we got stopped by a group of 10 10-year-old hooligans who'd set up an arbitrary road block in the middle of the street.
Their roadblock of choice? Yellow string, stretched tenuously across the road. One piece -- tied to someone's security wall, and held at the other end by an 8 year old boy.
Trés effective, ne c'est pas?
We stopped, of course, and they all had their hands out. "Pay us to get through the road block" .
Luckily, Car Beats Yellow String.
So we literally just glared at them and continued on our way.
I'm just going to stop being surprised, really. I'll never cease being amused, though.
