Take a close look at the tree limb in the second photo. It's really crazy the way they prune the trees and shrubs here. Mostly they just rip and break thinks off. Sometimes they will use a primitive tool like a machete.

The colorful laundry hanging out to dry is a common sight. The second picture down is of the auto richshaws lined up to get gas and the third picture down is of our flooded market place. A sewer line broke and flooded the whole place. What a stink. All the vendors had to head for higher ground.

This is one of our neighborhood guards in his new uniform. His name is Vishnu and his brother who is also our guard is named Kreshna after two Hindu Gods.

The first picture is just of our view out of the front of an auto rickshaw. The second picture is of some girls working as gas station attendants. They have a special gas called CNG for the auto rickshaws and they always make the passengers get out while they are gassing up. It must be more flammable or something.

Elder Hansen and Elder Partcsh in our apartment.

This Sikh is located in the little market next to our apartment. His wife makes these big pots of food every day. I take my five tiffin pots over and have him load them up once a week or so. If we don't have company to help us eat all that food it will last us almost a week. I pay only around $5.00 for a weeks worth of delicious rice, beans, and chipatis. Also, behind the Sikh on the left of the photo is a stitcher who is making me an outfit right now.

A sidewalk auto repair business. I believe this is the only kind they have here. I like the guy sitting and waiting. He tells it all, doesn't he?

This street dog had a very neat patch of fur shaved off and it looked like she had had some kind of surgery. These people here take care of the street dogs and get them to vets and everything.

Also this wrecked auto rickshaw was an unusual sight. I had never seen one wrecked before this one.

The guy in the red turban is an ear cleaner. Fred would like to try it sometimes but I have to explain to him that this is undoubtedly a very unsanitary business.

The little boy showing his muscles is a cooley who works at the market. He will carry all your groceries in a basket on his head. Many of them follow us around wanting our business and this is how they show us that they are strong. They are pretty cute little fellows. I hire one once in a while.
