A few things we learnt along the way:
- Indians like to use their horn way too much
- Any mechanical problem can be fixed only after checking the spark plug and carborutor multiple times
- It is really cold when you drive at night, in North India, in a Cold snap, without a polar bear fur coat
- Way too many men, not enough ladies
- 4 wheels on a vehcile is 1 wheel too many
- If you leave you high beams on while driving at night it makes it easy to see, but blinds everyone else making it hard for them to see... so no one can see...
- Eating Indian food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 4 weeks is hard. Think oil and bread and potato and chilli every single meal...
- Cows, goats, pigs, dogs, tractors, hay bails should stay on the farm
- The adventurist couldn't organise a rickshaw in the middle of Mumbai
- Nepal is a haven for the Unions, when they strike, they strike.
- Indian mechanics could cut the cable supporting the harbour bridge with their teeth, and taste the difference between unleaded, 2 stroke, premium, deisel, and LPG. It part of the apprenticeship.
- Matthew and Amy are not so good at getting up in the Morning, Chris for some reason is way too keen to get his cloths off, Andrew needs more shirts (not white), Kate drives a little to hard and breaks pistons and cylinder heads, Brad can only spend 14hours in a rickshaw and wait for 5mins in a hotel lobby before the hotel staff need to take him to his room, immediately.
- Good time had by all, recommend trying it.
