Cowcarts and Indians
I am in having the greatest pleasure in my being a visitor to India!
That’s right folks. I’m in India. The land of curry and cows in the street. I arrived here late on Monday on a business trip. The flights here, airport to airport, took 26 hours. Long and grueling and I’m not yet over the jet lag.
You learn a lot when you are in a foreign place. This place is as foreign as it gets. I’m in a state of culture shock like I’ve never experienced before. The traffic here is insane. I thought the traffic in Poland was bad, but this place is insane. There are more motorcycles than any other vehicle on the street. There are cars, buses, bicycles, rickshaws, cowcarts, people, motorcycle, you name it… all flowing harmoniously on the streets, paying no attention to lanes, traffic signals, police or other vehicles. It’s a wonder to me that there aren’t more people killed in traffic accidents on a regular basis.
All in day’s work for my Indian friends.
Welcome to my Web Blah... er, Blog.
