Things I learned in India

1) The cows that wander aimlessly through the streets are owned by people but they are allowed to roam free during the day. They then know to return home at 4pm each day (so says one of the locals). Cow hanging out outside the hospital.


2)A vespa is the new minivan: a family of four can comfortably ride to whatever destination desired. The new and ultimate soccer mom vehicle! In general more people can fit on a vehicle than I would ever think possible.
This is a jeep. Our driver said it normally seats four but in India it seats 35.


3) It is absolutely ok to relieve yourself on the side of the road if you are male, pooping is optional.

4) There is no such thing as a lane or a one way road. The rules of driving are "every man for himself" or the bigger vehicle always wins.*



*No doubt this list will be added to.
