TRAVEL
A Most Amazing Intersection in the World!
(In this time lapse video we see the intersection at Meskel Square, the nerve center of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
This intersection operates with NO white or yellow lines, NO directional arrows, NO traffic lights and NO one directing traffic.  Yet, there are no skid marks in the intersection.    Driving this intersection is not for the timid, patient or slow-thinking 
driver. It takes guts, split second timing, and brake and gas pedals that work!   Also check out the pedestrians as they navigate this chaos.)

"You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end – 
which you can never afford to Lose – with the discipline to confront
the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."
        - VAdm James Stockdale, USN (1923-2005)
