Pedal Rickshaws
Man people work hard here for just a few pennies............
This morning when I had to move hotels, I hopped on a pedal rickshaw to take me down the road as I didn't want to walk with all my stuff.
The cost was 10 rupees. That's 25 cents.
I was embarrassed to give him so little for him hauling my fat ass and heavy bag down the road pedalling a bike.
This is what I find hard.
I paid him double.
I know that I'm not supposed to do this as this then drives up the prices and expectations- especially for the tourists.
But.........I can't help myself when you see them working really hard to make a living.
It's not his fault he was born in India.
