Rickshaws are it. A chariot of the gods. But instead of horses you have another human being profusely sweating as they drag you around for 20 cents. I travel around on rickshaws everyday. They aren’t as cheap as buses but they are a lot more fun.
Rickshaw drivers are the most offensive people I’ve ever met. I mean offensive in a good way. Within days I found out ‘madhar chote,’ means ‘mother fucker.’ A necessary phrase that the guide book, once again, let me down on. The other great thing about rickshaws is their pace. Driving a rickshaw is pretty tough, it’s like riding a bike but with a cow tied to it. So rickshaw driver only get up to a maximum of 20 kph. A perfect scenic pace. Also, a rickshaw is totally open. You can check out all the hot girls stuck in traffic with you and all the guys holding hands. i heart rickshaws.
