A caravan
of government cars led our bus from the hotel and down the highway, turning off
onto narrow and bumpy country roads. The government cars’ hazard lights are all
blinking to show off the caravan, and our bus driver honks at least twice a
minute to alert pedestrians and people on motor bikes of the presence of this
huge bus sneaking up on them.
