Traffic in Ahmedabad, India

Ahhh. The smells, the tastes, the exotic bird calls, the flora and fauna. Winter in India is as warm as Vancouver in Summer. I’ve tasted things I can’t describe, like Pan and Pani-puri. Pani-puri is small, crunchy, hollow deep fried balls. The are punctured by the cook’s thumb, stuffed full of spicy vegetables and Cilantro, dipped in a sweet juice, and eaten: crunchy, juicy, sweet and hot. Amazing.

Anyway, here’s me in an Auto (rickshaw) driving through an intersection. In total it took about 5 minutes to drive ten feet; here’s the final minutes of claustrophobic, smelly traffic chaos. Par for the course in India.
