How TO Travel On Rickshaw

Most common forms of transport in Bangladesh is by rickshaw. These three wheeled bicycle powered carriages transport more than 80% of the population (my estimate). Buses that are driven by suicidal mental hospital escapees transport the remainder of the population.We spent the next night staying at an Indian Tourist resort on the beach in between Chennai and our finishing point in Pondicherry.

It had just topped 45 °C, the sun was blazing high above us in a clear blue sky and a hot wind was blowing across the cracked dry plain drying out my eyeballs so I could barely see the potholes in the road as I drove. My kidneys felt bruised from the constant pounding of the rickshaw and my back, as well as the rest of my body were aching nearly as much.
