Rickshaw Adventures

Rickshaw Adventures
Originally uploaded by waterlooHildreds.

Monday, Dianne and I usually go out for lunch and get some groceries. This Monday Lokesh managed to lock the keys in the car. We wandered the Sahara mall where the Food Bazar grocery store is for about an hour. I picked up a couple of men's movies with dialog in them. I got Cool Hand Luke, Good Will Hunting and the Matrix. After we had also had a cup of coffee, we called Lokesh and discovered that 3 mechanics had been unable to break into the car. It was a beautiful day so he suggested that we take a rickshaw home. They use rickshaws for everything here. When we got some writing desks for Dianne and the boys to do their homework on, they came by rickshaw. They have cargo and passenger rickshaws. The rickshaw was a little scary when we were driving along beside the main road. As soon as we turned onto a residential street it was quite pleasant. The driver was smaller than each of us and had to stand on the pedals the whole way. We learned that the protocol is to establish a price before you head off the hard way. Lokesh was amazed enough at how much we overpayed that he was still talking about it when he drove me to work Tuesday morning. It was funny to Dianne and I.
