Getting Around
With the HAT LAB taking place at Arts Reverie, I have been fortunate to stay with LOkesh at his flat for the first few days of my time in Ahmedabad. We would travel to and fro on his scooter, which was a great way to see different parts of the city, how people live and an ideal way to quickly get my bearings. Lots of people travel by scooter, motorcycle or motor rickshaw although some choose other methods of transport...
Seeing all the Vespas and LML's made be wish I could scoot around too. The traffic is busy here, although hidden beneath the surface, there is an element of order......
I understand that the rules for wearing crash helmets varies depending on where you are. In the city the driver of a scooter is compelled to wear a crash helmet but not the passenger although some of the safety head wear sported by some would not be of much use in an accident!
Thurle arrives today and we both begin our stay at Arts Reverie which will be our base for the remainder of our stay. Looking forward to catching up with Thurle and settling in to such an amazing house in the heart of the Old City and its Pols.
