This country is work in progress - everywhere constructions Half -ready buildings , buildings to be destroyed or being destroyed . I have been reading the news for more than ten years and I remember many accidents where the victims were kids .
More than ten years ago a Pakistani boy was going to the grocery when a four wheeler hit him while walking at the sidewalk .He died . A three years old little girl died some 8 years ago while walking in the Corniche with his parents and touched an uncovered lamp post .Lamp posts in the street with naked wires and no cover are not a rare thing to see around here ! Even nowadays after that tragedy !
I just wonder who takes those covers off and why nobody cares at the municipality ! Then the uncovered manholes ! They took the life of a little child last year - not in a poorly lit suburb but in front of a Hotel's main entrance in the center of the city !Similar horror happened in Wakra as well .
The little Sudani girl survived when she fell into the lift shaft at the hospital while her mum was waiting at the pharmacy ...
This country is safe . If you leave your belongings in the car then most probably nobody will steal it . Burglary is not common . But on the other hand negligence can cause a lots of tragedy .I forgot to mention that workers tend just to throw unwanted things out of the building including bags full of cement .
Living in a small town in Hungary I could send my ten year old to school alone / shopping in the supermarket or to visit grandma . Here I do not dare . Sometimes I think I should give her more freedom . Then my motherly instinct does not allow me to do so . This is the city full of single males /constructions and unpredictable dangers which can happen due to the transitional state of this country .Unfortunately it s very difficult to let them have life experience .
