Big Window into Small Spaces

There's nothing like riding in the front seat of a seminary bus in downtown Bangalore. You see EVERYTHING, including the bike, bicycle, and scooter riders that zip in and out of traffic like monkeys on jungle gyms. Good thing you can't drive til you're 21 here!

I'm hoping to get some pics up soon, but may have to wait til I'm stateside again. Some of the stuff is amazing!

We went today to see one of the statues of Shiva. It is HUGE! The Sikh Temple . . . we got to see the holybook being opened . . .

Riding shotgun on the driver's side, because the driver drives from the passenger side, provides a unique view of the small spaces between the many cars on the street. You get up close and personal with the drivers next to you when a street marked for two lanes -- if it's marked at all -- suddenly becomes congested with four lanes of traffic. Literally. 
Four lanes of traffic where it's only marked for two lanes
