On this continent, however, it seems the opposite prevails -- drivers are expected to go out of their way to be nice to you. Rumor has it that the rate of pedestrian-related accidents for BC residents are highest *outside* the province. Apparently people here come to take driver niceness for granted, and then they go out into the *ahem* real world and they get run over. *shrug*I drove around a blind corner once (on a fairly major road) and there's a guy on a bike in the middle, stopped, towing his baby behind the bike.

Worst are those who would walk in front of a moving car and then yell at the driver for not stopping for them (this actually happened to my then-fiancée once -- I was in the car, and quite speechless at the pedestrian's audacity). Of course, back in Asia where traffic rules are only recommendations, a different kind of stupidity prevails... like zigzagging a moped through moving traffic with a baby in one hand and bulging bags of groceries in the other (and another child clinging to the back without a helmet). Well, it looks like my random signature Perl script has picked out an appropriate quote for the occasion. ;-) T -- Do not reason with the unreasonable; you lose by definition.

They running red lights, they run up on the sidewalk to cut corners and avoid red lights. In Sweden, by law, vehicles have to stop for pedestrians about to cross a crosswalk without lights.

The cost should be around $35-45 to most places around Menlo Park. When you arrive, just walk out of the international terminal; you can't miss the door-to-door shuttles. Ask their prices and pick the cheaper one. Unfortunately, I work today. Otherwise, I would have picked you up like I will tomorrow, to take you to the ACCU talk. :) (Thanks again!) Ali

All good, I took the shuttle on Ali's advice. Cost $55. Much better than a taxi. By 'there' I was thinking anywhere in the area I guess (I presumed it would all be walking distance).
