The temperature has dropped and heavy thick fog started forming through the night and into the morning, it gets dangerous driving on the road with minimal visibility. The local authority has shutdown Bangabandhu Bridge that connects Bhuapur on the Jamuna River's east bank to Sirajganj on its west bank, and cause a massive jam spanning a few kilometers, and things started to go crazy here in Bangladesh.
The impatient driver will do whatever they can to get ahead in the line, including cutting into the opposite traffic, utilizing the walking path on the side of the road and started squeezing in on each other. Being in a mini version of a Toyota Vellfire, you felt like being Sardine within the big trucks that pile up with massive amount of goods, wondering what would happen to you when that shit topple over.
Life is definitely much easier back in Malaysia, I would have given up much earlier if I see such traffic and turn back or just quietly wait in line. But not my driver, he has balls of steel.... and join in the squeezing game.
Till a point we were just inch away from the next car.
Just when I was thinking eventually our car get scratch.. this happened
and my driver became moody afterward, he had try to give a piece of his mind to the other driver but I felt it was pointless.
He had gotten much moody afterwards. Chill la Bhai... what can you do right... is just a bad day let it go. Perfect time to play him Let it go from Frozen.
A group of truck driver discussing over what's happening at the front. I wonder if the day come that Bangladesh has their first Formula 1 driver.
A man selling snacks along the road... amidst all the honking, emission gasses and motorcycle splitting lanes, life got to go on. I don't think at this point they worry much about their safety.
Obviously I survived the traffic hence I'm able to write down the blog. I arrived at work 2 hours later that day but not that anyone cares... Can't wait to get the fuck out of here.
