Getting Around
|
People are pretty creative here in regards to their transportation. If it has three wheels and a motor (or four feet), they will use it. In fact, getting around has proven to be rather entertaining in a certain degree, especially some of the vehicles people use. I don't know what this is, I can't say for sure myself, but I found it amusing, and resourceful. You don't see things like that running around the states.  I think this is the same thing, but you can't tell.  This is the first ox drawn cart I've seen.  We see horses everywhere, but always pulling things, never actually being ridden. These horse drawn carts are very common, they are usually around pulling wooden logs around. They either use these logs to heat the house or to prop up cement floors, because they sure don't build with them. The Kosovar usually decorate their animals such as shown above. These horses definitely put their work in.  You come across people in the road quite frequently. Everything is on the road and using them. The danger here is not IEDs and being shot at, it's getting from point A to Point B. People can drive like Maniacs here.  Sometimes, the transportation just doesn't go anymore. . .  That's a tractor. Pulling a cow.  DOn't ask what this is. We're not exactly sure, but they are everywhere. It's a rotatiller pulling a wagon, or something. But whatever it is, we've come up with a name for them.  We call them Kosovo Harley's.  This is the repair shop I was telling you about. I didn't realize they actually dealt in this vehicle, but they are in deed quite common. Dad, do you think you want one?  Proof that the American culture has seaped into third world countries. What astounded me was the time I saw the Hummer. No, not a military HMMW-V. This was an H2, bright red. In KOSOVO! What was that doing here?
