Going Places...But How?

My favourite method of transportation so far is the Becak; A little sidecar thing attached to a motorcycle. You can see a back view of one here, carrying Susan and Violetta…


And here is a lovely picture of Steve and I, on my first ever Becak ride!

The reason I love these things so much is because I actually get fresh air in them! They haven’t really gotten the “smoking is bad” memo here yet, and everyone on the buses and everywhere smokes, and it’s nauseating. …unless you are on the TOP of the bus!! (See Exhibits A through C—Shown Below):

Exhibit A: Fresh Air!! We Love it!

Exhibit B: Pretty Scary... You can't tell but we are going over a high bridge!:

Exhibit C: View from the roof:

We couldn’t stay up there the whole time because apparently rooftop riding is illegal, and when we got near a place with police we had to come down. But it was pretty awesome. Maybe we will get leather jackets that say “Rooftop Riders” on the back and participate in various hijinks.
