One evening I was walking down the hill with one of my housemates to the local restaurant as we had been invited for dinner by a group from the UK who were staying for the night. It was 7pm so was dark but we were walking by moonlight like the locals. Suddenly there were lights coming up the hill. First was a moto followed by 2 lights of a car. The moto passed without a problem but I thought I ought to move a little further out of the way for the car. Unfortunately the headlights had disturbed my vision and suddenly I found myself at the bottom of the ditch by the side of the road. I apparently chose the deepest, steepest part of the ditch of the whole hill to fall into and had to be helped out. Fortunately I was not injured but was covered head to toe in dust. I was very relieved it wasn’t the rainy season as the ditches are for the rain run off and are often full or water or at least thick mud. The car driver did stop to check that I was ok – I think they were quite alarmed seeing someone suddenly disappear!
