In this week's field note, I am going to talk about how we get around in Peru, and share some photos of the transportation that we take almost every day!
In Peru, lots of people do not have a car, which means that they need to use other vehicles to get around! When they are not walking, a lot of people ride motorcycles, but most people take a combi (Comb-bee), which is a big van or bus that people share! It is similar to a school bus, but smaller!
The first time I got on a combi, I felt very cramped. The driver drives very fast, and sometimes people fall over. When it is really busy, there is nowhere to sit down, and everyone has to stand up inside of the combi! Once you get used to riding a combi, it becomes a fun activity.
