going my way?



I think this is a great idea for getting around
the center of the city, but I don't know what
a pedicab like this costs -- and mostly it's tourists
who use them. Bet this kid has lost a couple
of pounds since he started this job.

  1. Ah, the American ricksha! Not a bad idea if you think about it. You get in shape and get paid in the process. I could have used one of those about mid-afternoon today! :-)

  2. Apart from the wide street, at first glance this looked as colorful and exotic as Bangkok or Hong Kong. I guess Kung Fu Pandas'll do that.

    I'd consider taking one of those only if I could put my bare feet up and get a simultaneous pedicure during the pedicab ride.

    Looking at the peddler of peddling I can't help but suspect that he answered an ad for a "Weight Loss/Exercise Program. Guaranteed Weight Loss!! Only $299.99 a week! Sign on the dotted line."

  3. That's my exact thought too. Great way to see the city, especially when it's cool and dry.

    And I bet he doesn't have to pay $80/month to work out at the gym.

  4. And he gets to be outside and enjoy the city. Not a bad deal for him.
