i wanted to write about something other than my boring life ... and after several minutes of brainstorming ... i finally thought of something ... speed bumps!
now as far as i know ... speed bumps are supposed to be painted in a way so that you see them ... at least that's how it was back in khobar ...
but not here in riyadh ... no no no ...
here they decided to camouflage their speed bumps so that they blend in with the roads ... and unless there is a car in front of you and you see it ride the speed bump ... chances are you won't notice it until it's too late ... that is when you hear a loud THUD!
and it's even worse at night because the visibility is not as good ...
and i know the government has the money to paint them ... what with oil going for $150 these days ... so why don't they ... maybe their rationale was - this way people will always drive slow because they'll be too afraid of our hidden speed bumps ... they've created a minefield i tell you ...
currently i am in the process of memorizing all the spots that contain speed bumps so as to avoid them in the future ... that's the only way ...
fucking speed bumps ...
