Hi guys,

here's my blog for everyone who is interested in my next 4 months :) . I will try to keep you updated about my time in India; especially Mumbai.
So far I planned to be back in Berlin on December 20, until then: enjoy and don't do anything stupid while I'm gone ;)

Indias traffic

amazing.
no lanes (and if there are some then they are strictly ignored). trucks, busses. cars, motor rikshas, bika rikshas, bikes, cows and people just exist next to each other and manage to get from a to b without any accidents...little scratches or pushing each other out of the way doesnt count.
 if you overtake somebody, or anyone is in your way, then just honk. eventually either the one in front of you goes out of your way or you spontaneously decide to drive another way around this ignorant person.
when your side of the road is too busy then its totally fine to drive on the side, which was originally ment for the other direction. if there are cars etc coming up to you, then just honk, or use your flashing lights.. they will go out of your way.
red traffic lights are to be ignored. just honk before you cross it.
all in all you dont have to be scared as a pedestrian. generally the traffic is so flexible, that they will all manage to drive around you without anything happening to you.


"HORN OK PLEASE" :)
