i was just reading this story about the bus wars in guatemala and it reminded me of the time i was in guatemala and accidently missed this bus. i managed to get the same bus the next day, sat down and this lady hands me the paper, points to the front page and says “aqui, lea este” (she clearly knew my spanish was fairly shit). anyway, the bus i was supposed to catch that day got hijacked by this gang and a bunch of people got indiscriminately shot. weirdly that was just one of the times i was nearly killed in some way that summer.
