Ambulance incoming… who cares!?
Today on my way home, I was getting shocked again… an ambulance passed by. But that was actually not shocking about it, it was the simple fact, that no one in Japan cares. The ambulance took like 1 min to get across a crossing… yes there was a lot of traffic, but it had everything on, lights and signals at full volume. I think it is kind of sad, because I don’t want to lie in one of these ambulances and taking years to an hospital.
In Germany it is exactely the opposite. Sometimes the cars start dangerously quickly breaking their car and pulling it on the sideway. But I have never seen any situation where a ambulance had problems passing through. Usually the cars are always out of the way, before the ambulance can actually been seen.
