There are certain things I would like to do while in India:

Visit Taj Mahal, bucket list

Visit a grocery store

Take photos with cool architecture

Eat plenty of Indian food, try new things

Drink lots of Masala Chai

Ride in an auto rickshaw

Experience more Bollywood

Experience unique McDonalds menu, per Anastasia

 

We started out day with a rickshaw ride and absolutely fell in love with it.  We can call them on the Uber app to avoid the bartering on price, although it is difficult to find the right one since they all look alike.  All of our rides today cost about $0.50 and we tipped the same.  They are faster than cars since they don’t need a full lane, they have a breeze, and they are just fun.  The only negative is that the air can get kinda thick here (pollution) and at traffic lights the exhaust fumes are a bit much.  And sometimes we need to cross the street, which is scary.  We also learned that three to the back is a bit tight, even though we see as many as 11 in a rickshaw.  We even saw someone riding on the roof once.

 

I would always ride rickshaws if I could.


Flying to Agra for the weekend to see the bucket list item...
