I'm not sure people here have the same sense of time and space. Not just the example that we were kept waiting for a meeting for 20 mins directly beneath a poster promoting 'good timekeeping'..

The Ecovia is the main motorised bus lane transport, and has a narrow passage to get in and out. And you wait in the corridor for the bus,  with people walking past you. And then someone will come and stand directly in front of you (when there is lots of space to the side) so that everyone walking along has to bump into you, or stop of push past etc. 

Now - we have been socialised to say "I was here first, your subsequent actions have a direct negative consequence on me that i think you ought to be aware of" etc. We force these bad people until they stop doing being so thoughtless (as a form of society moulding behavioural change), so do the same things in cars through reward and punishment. 

But here in ecuador - i don't think i have any more rights because i was there first. Which makes more sense if you think holistically. (i remember stupid examples of people 'playing the system' in the UK by driving very fast towards traffic pulling out to force them to stop - this it the downside of a system based, erm, system.) I wonder what would happen if we see things more as a whole and less as separate interaction in our lives as a linear path..
