(im)perfect : Look with new eyes (part 2)

3- Informal bus stop

at first I felt insecure because I do not like being alone, but when I saw taxi drivers greeted me and I remembered that I had met them a day before when we had the picnic, I felt safe and decided to start looking...

I sat down in a small tree that seemed comfortable in the shade it gives, but then I began to feel the speed of cars, noise, people coming up the walkway, stopping buses near me, people getting off the bus and all these things made me think about the imperfection in the city because they do not respect the bus stops, the gateway is not appropriate to all the person and is damaged and above all, people do not realize what is happening around them. But, when I ask my self what makes the place perfect, I realized that the wonderful view that have the space is the best of "la ceiba" because you can see all around the church, gateway, bus stops, street, school and all who pass by the place and that is why I felt safer because everyone turned to me in the eyes of the city"






4-Formal bus stop

Arriving at the bus stop I did not feel unsafe because I usually transfer the bus at that location, so here I decided to sit down and start observing and the conclusion that I make is that the round was imperfect for the culture of the people, I saw garbage in the sidewalk although it was a garbage dump near and it was empty, the bus drivers beeping, noisy and smog but the bus stop became perfect for me because I had a sit, a tree that shaded me, a place to buy food close and the whole view of "La ceiba" but within the same perfection I found the imperfection because the seats after a while they become uncomfortable and dimensions are not ideal for bus stop.
The perfection can be a moment in time, but in reality nothing is perfect
