And the winner is......

When living in a culture not your own, some actions and words become 2nd nature and you don't give them a tho't. Some things you still marvel at even after 12 years. Marvel as in i-can't-believe-they-do-that. Common and an acceptable part of the culture here, but very different than my 'home' culture.

So, I had a contestant. No one knew they were entering and there are no prizes. Some really good entrants are left out as i was driving or didn't have my camera or or or. I know there are more possible winners out there, but, sorry the contest is now closed.

I was looking for the vehicle with the most people. I was particularly attracted to vehicles with most of the people outside. I was also looking for,,,well not looking as they are there all the time every day, but seeing every imaginable vehicle over loaded. Just this month there was a news report of a taxi/combi driver arrested with 49 school children in his vehicle. And making it far worse was that he was 5 times over the limit for alcohol consumption while driving.

I was the only judge. However, if you think I selected the wrong one let me know, or if you have a contestant feel free to post it.

Here are some of the contestants:

(((Often there are more in the back of a pick-up (bakkie) and in some trucks the doors can't be open and drive so they are all closed in.)))(((Not so full but interesting.)))
((Normally they carry 18 passengers plus a few babies or toddlers on laps.)))))

(((School children in a taxi.)))
