sAAAHHH i want to go back!
isnt the temples and the scenery so peaceful and beautiful? its so great.
cheap wonderful food makes mouths happy, all day. and buying water constantly for a few cents leaves little room for thirst in the heat.
rickshaws rock, man! dont expect cars to be any safer, they also drive into oncoming traffic and swerve... although you DO have a metal cage around you.
i was hit by a motorcycle in a rickshaw in delhi once...
oh and when you go up into the northern mountains (if you go high enough) you WILL be terrified of your rickshaw/jeeps/bus -now thats the exciting one- falling off the mountains
Please don't get eaten by a snake or fall off a mountain in a rickshaw
