EPC, you will be fine going back to that time. Every era has its positives and negatives. You must bank on the positives anywhere you are :)
Great video.
Almost looks like a cartoon...
by ex programmer craig on Tue Nov 03, 2009 11:50 AM PST...with all the foot and vehicle traffic moving in random directions!
Most remarkable thing to me was that I didn't see any women in the whole thing! I guess back then either women would have been at home or inside one of the carriages.I think I'd feel like I was on another planet if I was transported back in time and saw thousands of men out and about without a woman to be found!
EDIT: Watched it again and there are some women! Not many though!
Nice

by yolanda on Mon Nov 02, 2009 10:50 PM PSTIt is an amazing century-old video....the similarity between this video and the streets of Tehran is that both have fearless jay-walkers and jay-runners.
Thanks for this eye-opening video!
thanks,
