As Far As I Can Tell


India’s Hero

Moped in a box

All wrapped up

Almost everything is already assembled

Dan redying parts

A complete new moped

In the last photograph you can see a metal attachment that looks a little like a grill cover below the seat. Dan and I assumed this was for attaching things to but it turns out that it’s a sari guard. It’s a standard and necessary feature in India and keeps a woman’s sari from getting caught in the back wheel. Apparently in India it’s common for women to ride double, sit sidesaddle, and not hold on to the driver.

I love my headphones. The sound is so spatially separated that just now I swore I heard a noise downstairs while listening to Diplo.
