My friend pointed out a scary looking truck to me and asked "how do you call this in English?"
It was a street cleaner. However, they are a little different than the ones I'm used in the US. Two things:
1. There is a very violent jet stream of water shooting out of a hose, which gets the street very clean, but ironically makes all the cars next to the truck very filthy.
2. They play music! In this case "It's a Small World," which makes the thought of nasty street goo on your car a much more pleasant experience.
