ghana makes the drive-thru window seem like a slow way of buying things.
here, if you are on a bus or in a taxi and say, feel hungry, or
urgently need to buy a toothbrush, just look around. at the station
or at whatever intersection you are waiting, chances are, people are
selling that item from their heads.
you just wave them over and purchase away! never even have to leave
your seat, and certainly no waiting.
what if the vehicle starts moving before your purchase is complete?
no problem. the seller just runs alongside your taxi or bus and
finishes things up!
plantain chips, pure water, fanice, toothbrushes, towels, hats, you
name it: it's available.
i think we all agree. this is one of the things that america SHOULD
start doing!

haha. I'll add that to my list of things to change about america: right after more trains and round-abouts. :D
