Queues of cars

Shimla, 01-04-1994. If a traffic accident happenes on one these small and winding mountain roads you will see soon long queues of cars that naturally have to wait untill the local constabulary has cleaned up the mess. That in this country takes its time so people just wait stoically as though they were waitng in a movie house after the generator has once again given up and the movie has stopped. Or the movie house experiences a brown out had has no back up generator what so ever. In the bus to Craigano, a forested area 16 km. from Shimla and the walk back my activity for today, i met a swedish guy who was the spitting image of my friend Frank back home in amsterdam. In behaviour, accented english and looks. He seemed quite impressed with my near perfect swedish which i learned from Frank, a norwegian himself.
