Chinatown in Lima, Peru! And the city buses have the route name also in Chineese. Much like San Francisco, but smaller.
Downtown Lima again. Photo of the traffic. Huge with a high percentage of taxis. The city has a campaign going to encourage the citizens to take buses. Buses are also prolific.

Because the national assembly is in session, there were cops and soldiers everywhere. I saw no rioters. The sides can swing forward and create a screen fence. Otherwise, the sides are back to protect the cab.



Here is your standard water truck to make sure the rioters keep it clean.


I guess these officers were on break, so I got an easy photograph. Other places there were dozens and some horseback. Those horseback were all women.
