It’s like five baby roundabouts have hatched from the mother ship.   In Swindon, England, it’s known as The Magic Roundabout.

    I’ve done the Magic Roundabout, riding shotgun on a rainy day with a crazed local, driving a Smart. He had to show me how easy it was and how it was a great way to get from over here to over there. To prove it, he did each of the small roundabouts in order, using the big one in the center to move about the circuit. It was amusing, so long as everyone on the floor knows how the dance goes. Probably best to leave it to the locals.

    I can’t believe I missed this when I was in Swindon. What the hell was I doing? Seriously? What could I have been doing in Swindon?

    So you go to a poor country, travel on the cheap and find – surprise, surprise – that it’s not exactly the Ritz. Wouldn’t it be fairer to attack first-world hotels, eateries and other services that advertise and charge for a service that’s not up to scratchd? There’s no shortage of them and they’re more likely to respond to criticism than those in poor countries. And you’d be doing travellers a service.

    The magic roundabout isn’t too bad, once you get the hang of it. Must admit though, even the locals didn’t understand the rules sometimes.
