Kelleher Trip to Egypt and Jordan May 2024

It’s a Scramble!

It’s not scrambled eggs or a chicken scramble (for you city folks, a chicken scramble is a county fair event whereby chickens and roosters are put in a big pen with a bunch of kids; the kids get to try to catch the fowl; some have twenty dollar bills affixed to their chicken legs!!!; and even if there is no $20, you get to keep your catch!!). Anyway, the Japanese version is the Shibuya Scramble:

5 way intersection; traffic stops and pedestrians fill the entire intersection

This should be a video, but it may not be loading properly.

Also note: the Japanese make good use of umbrellas!
