    What is a Boab, if you don’t mind me asking?

      That is a great question! A Boab is the word for a doorman :-). The “doormen” here do everything thought, including parking cars and “organising” the street chaos. This sweet guy mostly smiles and waves and sometimes gestures where to park from his seat :-). The cars are parked here 3-4 “thick” and everyone leaves their brakes off so the boabs move the cars by pushing them to get folks in and out.
