cars
local cars hate me. since i am here any car i used has never lasted more than three days. last time, yesterday night: fifty meters from my house, the car suddenly stopped, smoke coming from the engine. like in the races you see on tv. then i called the veilleur of my house, and he tried to push the car into the courtyard. but the street where i live is a bit steep, and he could not manage to move the car. instead, the car was going backward. then i called the veilleur of the restaurant next to the house, and they tried together, but the outcome was the same: the car was stronger than them. at the end i went to the restaurant and called all the clients. it was a wonderful scene: twenty people pushing my car, while i was inside (watching their effort).
last night it was very funny, but it could have been dangerous as well. i was coming from one of the poorest borroughs of the town, in which also locals are frightened to go when it is night.
according to me, the problem is that they always give me nissan, because we have just one toyota, and the boss uses it. (our) nissan are always broken, (our) toyota never. but nissan are cheaper, and the previous cooperants maybe were mean, and they bought nissan.
if you go to a country with no roads there are two possible choices of cars: toyota land cruiser if you want a closed car, tyota hilux if you want an oper car.
