There are many modes of transportation here. This is a camel that was parked just a couple doors down from where we stayed in Jaipur. I have seen elephants, too. There is huge pedestrian traffic. The motorized types include autos, cars, buses, motorcycles, scooters, and trucks, both four wheels and three. Non-motorized includes bicycles and bicycle rickshaws. It is common to have three people on a motorcycle. Women ride side-saddle on the back. Babies are usually in front of the driver. Some wear helmets, some do not. The driving is absurd. Horns are always honking, and the lines on the roads are barely suggestions. There is a front seat seat-belt law, though! The craziest thing I have seen so far was on the way to Michael's home from the airport. There were two grown men and three live goats on a motorcycle! Special note to John... The ladies wore sarees, or suits with scarves and sandals, flip-flops, or bare feet!
