As you drive around you see all sorts of strange things. This was not so unusual, two guys riding on a Tuk Tuk piled high with fabric (the other major product from the industrial Surat). We were just behind this Tuk Tuk at a narrow round-about intersection, when I noticed one of these guys nearly fall off. To save himself, he jumped off onto a similarly laden mini truck, regained his balance, and then jumped back on to his vehicle. Neither vehicle slowed down.
Another new factory being built – I doubt Aussie or US builders would do this.


I took these 2 photo's on the last day in Surat at the Horrid Day Inn. The clocks show the 'not quite right' (NQR) aspects of India. The other is a 'stitch' photo from the room window.
