Entertaining Transportation
We rode the rickshaw's again. And let me tell you it only gets more and more novel as we go deeper into our trip.
Sometimes we hit an exceptionally agressive driver, who will cut off motorcycles, pedestrians and four tonne busses. Then again sometimes it turns out anti climatic-- like when he runs out of gas and slams to an abrupt stop. He told us it would only be half a kilometer to our house. Two hours later and 2 liters of water and 1 glass of freshly made orange juice, we arrive. Walking all the way home actually came in handy last night as we then knew how to give better directions when auto's get lost.
I'll note that never have I seen a female auto rickshaw driver.
