Aaron as an Album Cover



These red trucks are a crossbreed of taxis and buses. Tuk tuks are more famous, but the drivers are more likey to fleece you. The red trucks run general routes. You just flag one down-- if they're heading your way, you agree on a price and hop in. Often times they have family or friends riding along for a ways. We had fun watching one read his English phrasebook at every stoplight, while another's kid was goofing around with dino toys. Nice slice of everyday life in these trucks.
