Dance, Live, Love, Experience: January 2015

There are many types of vehicles to transport items in Canada. If you need to move a couch, you ask someone who has a truck. But…what if you don’t have access to a truck?

I thought I was risky and adventurous when I was helping a university friend move her stuff to a new place. Her office chair didn’t fit in her car so I had the window rolled down and I leaned out while holding on to the chair. I mean, we were just moving to a different building on campus so it’s not like I held on to this chair across town or anything. We thought we were so creative and we had a good laugh about it.

In Pakistan, nothing is impossible while moving items. Most people have motorcycles so everything imaginable is transported using a motorcycle. There is the occasional bicycle that has quite the load. And then also the Tuk Tuk that is well over the space limit. It really boggles my mind how they do it. It is a work of art.

I find myself at a stop light, looking beside me to find a goat being carried on a motorcycle and I reach over to grab my phone. Dammit phone, hurry up! My iPhone 4 is too slow now because in tech years it is over 10 years old. The light turns. Aww man! I blame my phone for taking forever! So now when possible, Ryan drives so that I can keep an eye open.

Below is a compilation of photos I and friends have captured.
