- There are no traffic lights. In pretty much anywhere I have gone, including highways and small streets On the highways, you basically make a u-turn or take a ramp to exit. On the small streets, there are some "stop" signs that say "alto".
But mostly things are controlled by speed bumps (feels like Amman). Even on some major roads, you suddenly have speed bumps. Oh, and on really big hills, when you are headed downhill, there are emergency exits (if brakes fail), which are basically a turn off the highway up a very steep hill so that you slow down because of the slope.
- There are lines for the banks. There are long lines to go to the ATM machine and longer lines to see a teller. I think people come in from the villages to use the banks. Also, if you go too early in the morning, there is often no money in the machines. If you go later in the day, there is no money in the machines. If you go during the day, there is a line.
- There is a subculture in Antigua of the gringos. This is often the case, but there are places that are really just geared for gringos. With menus only in English unless you ask for a menu in Spanish. Or signs only in English. A little annoying really. A mi no me gusta esta.
