A Bit Unnerved by the Traffic Stories



One of the most consistent pieces of advice I've received while preparing for India is to sit in the back seat when riding in a car. Apparently, the driving is just downright terrifying. Until I found the above video, I thought it couldn't be that bad, right?

I was wrong. This clip made me want to grab on to the handles of my office chair and hold on for dear life.

Chris, how will you and your crew be getting around? Public transportation of some sort or will you have a car?

I believe we'll have a driver in most places. It's very common in India for people to have drivers.

So where are you staying at? Are you staying at a hotel or someones house down there? Also, are the places you staying going to have all the necessary amenities; running water, electricity, ac, etc?

Hotels, which is very nice I have to admit.

The hotels should have all of the normal amenities, except for AC of course.

Thanks for reading guys.
