My faith in humankind has been restored. And all because of a car breakdown.
I was on my way to a press conference way across town last week.
I thought I had chosen my route well when I found myself stuck near Thieves' Market as a result of the PDRC protest march. I decided to do a U-turn there and then, and after getting out of the car to conduct the traffic under the midday Sun, I managed to extricate myself and find a detour. The traffic was rapidly building up, but since I was now going against the flow, I felt relieved.
And then it happened.
