Miami Part 1: Arrival


This is Greyhound! My mode of transportation from Orlando airport to South Beach in Miami. I like it beacuse it is cheap! And guess what? It's the favourite means of transport for ex-convicts too! They get free Greyhound passes from the government as part of the the country's bid to help them assimilate back into society again.

The first glimpse of Miami from the inside of Greyhound.

Oh, look! the zebra crossings are blue! The zebra crossings here in the USA aren't really zebra crossings. They're very tricky. This blue one that you see is a real one.
Aha! This is a fake zebra crossing! You have to wait for the traffic light to change before you can cross the road. These crossings mean "you can cross here when the traffic light says you can", and not "you may cross here as and when you like, because you are a pedestrian and this is a pedastrian crossing".

Magic school bus! Not. An ordinary yellow school bus. And a random man posing for my photo.

This is the interior of a public bus!
