I got off the bus and had immediately had to dodge a camel

I got off the bus and had immediately had to dodge a camel, coming from my right, against the direction of the bus. I guess, like joggers, it’s safer for camels to go against traffic. Anyway I didn’t see it and it almost ran me over. Once past me, its driver (or whatever you call the person sitting on top) spit to his right. It was like a honk, only a bit delayed, and wetter.
