Bishkek traffic - almost live!

Puh! It's taken me all day to figure out how to convert a stupid 10 sec video clip from my mobile to a format that works here (via a tool I can access here). I was getting ambitious and also wanted to tilt the video 90° so it's in a correct position. It's been driving me crazy. None of my video programmes were able to do it. So I wanted to install a new one. Which didn't work, because I didn't have enough memory space left on my notebook. So I tried to transfer some of my data to an external disk. Which stopped several times, because the disk is almost full also. After hours of transfering data back and forth, I was finally able to start the installation. Only to realize that the serial number is missing. After another while of searching for it, the installation finally started. But - of course!!! - the installation got interrupted as my computer froze. When finally opening the programme I had to realize that it doesn't take my file formats. Then, I noticed that I already had another (I'd like to call it professional) cutting programme installed - which also doesn't eat my file. Anyway, the day is gone, my video is still tilted to the left and I'm kinda pissed...

I beg you, please, enjoy this video clip of Bishkek traffic! And tell me that you love it... haha.

There are no horses in the city. And nope, it was rush hour. I didn't even try to make it across... ;)

No for real, there are traffic lights and you just need to wait for a good timeframe to cross the streets.

But I was rather waiting for someone and got bored, so I started taking random video clips of the environment around.
