Black N' Yellow


Speaking of taxicabs, they are EVERYWHERE! Dare I say there are more here than in NYC? Could be. here they are black and yellow. Inside, the seats are lined with various brightly covered fabrics. Usually, the driver has a religious figure on his dashboard, typically the Hindu god named Ganesh. Take care if you're much taller than me. There isn't a lot of headroom in these cabs. In my opinion, the front seat next to the driver is best to take pictures from. Taking a cab is the best way to travel and the fares are cheap. To figure out your fare, multiply the number on the meter by 13. After midnight, meters are turned off, so negotiate before starting your ride. However, since girls have to be back in the hostel by 11pm (though the boys have no curfew), I have no firsthand experience of this late-night negotiation.
