Be careful when walking

Walking and driving in Kuantan has been challenging, fun, scary, different.

Case in point, we were walking across the street to the mall. Of course, if you are not used to driving on the opposite side, this also applies to looking the correct way when crossing.  That can be challenging.

We pretty much have that part mastered.  Across the street we go, and then we are safely in the parking lot where cars are going slow and stop when you are crossing since there is a lot of traffic.

But today, the Frenchman was run over by a van and a driver busy not looking at the road.  The only thing that save him was quick thinking and cat-like jump over the hood of the van with a hand on the van as a pummel horse.  The driver was apologetic, but that teaches us a lesson that we need to be extra careful, even in the parking lot.
