After their set they mingled around in the crowd and I’m looking at all these face, neck and scalp tattoos thinking, “Man, I sure hope this band gig works out for you.”
I said the Exact same thing to my brother on Saturday when we saw a band called Drek play. Guitarist is essentially going 'all in' on this band thing lol.
This is a video shot above Meskel Square in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It's a massive free-for-all traffic intersection.
Yikes. No wrecks though... Surprising. I think they must be moving pretty slow judging by the people walking in the video. It just looks even worse sped up like that.

Is it more or less time efficient than using traffic lights? Are there more or less accidents as compared to normal intersections?
I think I saw a thing on Discovery channel or something similar once about a German town that took away all traffic lights and signs out of their city center. Apparently people slow down and pay more attention and the accident rate actually drops.
A massive intersection full of chaos like the one above, though? Gotta be some wrecks, right?
