Dairy Queen and Taxi King

Not quite the real thing.

We still haven't been brave enough to take one of these taxis anywhere!

Sarasbaug Ganpati

Reid was so tired from working all night that Thursday morning he slept in until 11. He didn't have to get back to Wipro until around 4, so we took another little excursion into Pune. This temple is called Sarasbaug Ganpati and is situated in the middle of a huge public park. The website says 10,000 people visit this temple daily, although there certainly weren't that many there at the same time we were.

Where can I get one of these three-wheeled taxis?
