I kept trying to get a picture of the yellow and white bicycles. Apparently, you can lease a bike for 30 Euros a month. This entitles you to ride a bike for two hours a day. The intent is to give you a way to commute to work and avoid the traffic. A bike is easier to move through traffic than a car or scooter. I don’t think you get the same bike each day. I think you go outside and take the first bike you see and then leave it wherever you finish your day. The tour guide asks if we know what they call these bike commuters: Organ Donors. Apparently, they have no helmet laws and the bikers weave their way through the heavy traffic. Anyway, I never go the picture, but I somehow managed to remember the story.
I did get a picture of a mail slot. Not just any mail slot, but one with a message. Like our hare and tortoise story, this mail slot tells a bird and tortoise story. Steady gets the best results. No offense to airmail, this slot was built well before the advent of airmail.
