Transport

There are many ways to get from A to B.

As soon as you can afford it you should get a loan to get a mobilette (moped). For the less fortunate there is the bike. Donkey carts seem to be used by the lowers casts in society; they are very practical in carrying heavy loads, but slow.















Standard donkey cart



















Standard bike: mudguards and luggage rack are optional.















Number one moped (I like it)













Close number two

For longer distances you can take a (mini)bus or get a lift on a car or truck. There are no safety rules.
Don't worry if you need to bring your bike. Most buses seem to have several bikes and/or mopeds on the top.




























































If all else fails, you walk.

PS. the lucky few have a car. Japanese or french brand.
