Learning how to drive..

There is a small sandy football pitch close to the guest house where we were staying. From Saturday until Thursday the boys and men from the neighbourhood gather there in the evening and play very fanatic football (-which I think is quite a challenge in this climate!). This fact that the pitch is unfortunately covered with glass and rubbish doesn't seem to stand in the way of a good game of bare-foot football. I found out that this particular pitch is also being used for something totally different: driving lessons. In the morning the driving instructors arrive and carefully place various bricks on the pitch to create some kind of 'race-course'. The driving students can practice their driving skills through different exercises: slalom, driving backwards, driving in circles etc.... It looks quite nice to see the orange-coloured cars performing an interesting choreography in between the two goals. Perhaps a game of car-football could be a next instructive challenge?
