Boda Boda

I was leaving the "zoo" and heading to lunch and there wasn't a taxi to be had so the guard at the zoo suggested I take a Boda Boda. I'm pretty familiar with casual local transport in developing countries. It always seems to involve the same word repeated twice (Tro Tro in Ghana, Tuk Tuk in Thailand).  The Boda Boda however, wasn't a shared bus or an attachment on a motorbike- it was just a dude on a motorcycle. I wasn't going far and it was cheap so I hopped on the back of his motorcycle and was pretty much frozen in horror for the five minute ride. We probably didn't break 5 mph and were never on any roads that had other vehicles and yet I'm just sorta chickenshit when it comes to this stuff. Next time I'll bring my ridiculous bike helmet with me :)
