Japan, Kyōto京都市

On the last day of 2010, a taxi driver was struggling to move forward on the icy slippery road with his regular tires. Kyoto city had heavy snow fall on that day, and no cars wore special tires for winter. Since the taxi wouldn't start, the following car couldn't help honking. Sound comes mainly from the right, but it's not that your devices are out of order. Korg MR-2 and Audio Technica AT9943.

Not really. Bushes didn't allow me to see him (or her). But thanks for comment anyway.

Very funny to hear. You see the taxi-driver with his red face.
