I forgot to mention that my rickshaw wallah-cum-tourguide* taught me how to drive the venerable three-wheeler today. The looks on the faces of the people we passed on the road were priceless- a ferengi sharing the front seat with a local, driving! And not just any ferengi, but a GIRL. Good times. Too bad I couldn't get on board for the Rickshaw Ride this time around- I could get used to careening around mountain curves with the little guy.
