Almost daily, drivers and passengers of cars stare at me as I walk from the train station to my school in Seki. They aren't malicious stares, but stares of interest and curiosity, as I am fairly confident that I am the only caucasian foreigner that has been to Seki in years.
Anyway, as I was walking to work today, I noticed a female driver of a minivan driving slower than normal and staring at me. I turned and gave her a quick smile and then kept walking. A few seconds later, I heard the sound of metal colliding with metal and glass breaking! It turns out that this woman drove right into the car in front of her because she was staring at me!
Luckily nobody was hurt and the damage to both cars was relatively minimal. I know that it isn't my fault, but I still feel really bad. Apparently it is dangerous to be on the road when I am in the area here haha.
Not to make light of a serious story, but my friend Duc pointed out that at least now I can say that I really have "stopped traffic" haha
