Last night was my first moto ride. Motos are probably the most common way to get around Kigali, and most African cities. They are basically sturdier Vespas. In Rwanda it is required by law that passengers wear a helmet. So one is suplied. I may be asking for special shampoo before too long...
My first go was alright. We were following my roommate's moto and when a bus cut between us my driver ran a very red light to catch back up.
The ride home was less relaxing The helmet I was handed, after I asked for it, had a shattered visor and soon into the drive I began to understand why. Fortunately I arrived home in one piece. I am tired of drivers ripping off the muzungus though with inflated prices. I must work on negotiating skills.
Hope everyone is staying warm and safe
