Getting around!

Scooters, motorcycles, bicycles, rickshaw (motorized as well as human powered), taxi, camel, elephant, camel, Ox pulled carts, tractors, and I even saw a family driving around a steam roller.
It was common to see 3 people on a motorcycle and from time to time, would see 4 on a bike.

There are no traffic laws, whom ever has the loudest horn or is the bravest gets the right of way.

Then there are the neighborhoods made up of small grass type huts.
The tin huts made of 4X8 sheets of corrugated tin, and then finally apartment living.
