Only in Niger!

Now, I don't usually tell people to go and check out another site, but there's an article on the Tam-Tam Info (news site about Niger in French) that talks about transportation problems in the capital, Niamey. People have a hard time finding a cab, it seems.

After twenty years in Niger, I really thought that I had seen it all; chicken sticking their heads out of the window, goats and sheep hanging down from lorry roofs, cows pack both inside and on top of tiny little mini-buses and so on... But this... This beats it all.

For those of you who aren't into French and just want to have a look at the picture, click here. The picture doesn't have a title, but they might want to consider calling it "No Room Left in Nigerien Cabs after the VIP Take Their Seat."

Now talk about luxurious animal transportation!! Looks like the Western World has something to learn from the Least Developed Country after all...
