I Survived...

While this may not be Biography TV episode material since Ive never watched an episode of it, I have to say I have gotten used to the crazy roads in India. See the pictures below for examples of the traffic and crazy drivers.

Ok I know, nothing looks too dangerous, but when youre sitting in the front row of a bus/car and see the cars coming at you head on and then veering last minute out of your lane so they dont hit you, its a lot more in tents (kevin you better read this and laugh at the reference I just subtly made). I took a video but thought Id save you the trouble of getting motion sickness from it while sitting down. 

We get close to our neighbors while sitting at one of the five traffic lights in the entire city. Im convinced they dont really exist here, Ive only spotted like two. Thats counting one that didnt work. The smell of diesel fuel is also pretty strong here and you better hope you dont stop next to a cow who decided to use the bathroom on the street next to you. Things just smell different here. 

More rickshaws! Everybody takes them here and they sound like little bumble bees buzzing round town.

But they only buzz if theres a road! What did we do you ask? Well, luckily I wasnt in a rickshaw but a bug party bus that barely had enough room to make a u-turn on the road that did exist. The driver made the way back to where we are staying about 3 hours later nbd. Better safe than roadkill. Roadkill here occurs in the form of frogs which then get dried up in the sun. Fun mental picture huh? At least for you its not in real life where its less pleasant than what you imagined.

Get ready for a post with me in a sari next. Bollywood here I come...
