Since I have no car I've pretty much walked everywhere (even all the way back from Recoleta today) and there are a few things you learn to watch out for--potholes, garbage, leaking AC units overhead and dogshit. The most important thing, however, are the cars. Though I've read a million complaints about both drivers and pedestrians in the city, I actually thought that the two got along way better than in Miami (the city of more pedestrians deaths than murders).
Then today on my way home I saw the worst thing. Apparently this guy was hit while crossing the road and he lay at the edge of the crosswalk in a puddle of blood. I think most of it was coming from his head. The police were already there (as were about 50 or so curious onlookers) and the guy was able to move a little so I just kept walking. Believe me, I think I'll just wait for the light from here on out...
