Cut video down cos I videod the area and we were talking crap.



See the alcohol bottle????



Taxi driver was on the phone, drunk, had large bottle of alcohol next to him, meter was broken, charged way higher (lol), barefoot (lol), vehicle was falling apart, flat tyre, probably self taught driving etc!

The funniest part? He had a religious statue in front of him, probably knew he had to pray for some immortality or something.


Wanted to scold him but he couldn't speak English!!

At one point I said to slow the heck down!! He replied with jibberish!! Lol, 35 minute trip.

He was a nice guy, very happy, but definitely almost died.

Also, this drink here!! It tastes amazing!! Definitely try it out, tastes similar to strawberry milk.

Even worse, when I got home there was a news report about how 11 people were injured yesterday apparantly :0

I did enjoy, it was like being on a roller coaster, but with 0 safety measures. No seatbelt, vehicle is basically a bicycle, size of a bicycle, lol.

Where was this? Mirin travels

Yeah, get out there and try it, fun stuff.

Sri Lanka, very hot.

you live there or travel?

Bit of both, family lives out there and I'm visiting my Grandparents. Heading to ***** later to see Aunty's (other side of family).

I live in UK now, been there for 15+ years.

I'm aware of these 3 wheelers, there's 100s on the road everyday, but this guy was just outrageous haha, just had to document it.

Cool man, hopefully someday.

Yeah, out here mosquitos rule the country, non of this government nonsense, just mosquitos, lol.

How's America? Never been there, may want to one day just to try it out.

pls stay safe

Was that a Tuk-Tuk you were riding in? It's crazy how in 3rd world countries ppl drive with no fuks given.

It's scary, dangerous, but kinda funny at the same time. I remember watching Youtube vids of roads in India, and their roundabouts it's crazy how there's not more crashes it's pretty much a free for all.

Driver had a death wish, incidentally so did I!

you ever drive in California? Its not much different srs

Pretty awesome imo. I feel lucky that I live here, it's big enough that I could travel around during the entirety of the lockdowns. There's a ton of geographical variation here, from south Florida to the canyonlands of Utah.

Yes, it is a tuk tuk. Trishaw or 3 wheeler. Many other names, called it 3 wheeled taxi cos nobody really knows those names lol.

Yeah they are mentally unstable. Beep the horn like 30x a minute. Like, basically oversaturates the horn use and makes it useless. On a 2 lane road, 4 cars were overtaking us at once, 3 overtook on a bend. You know how motorbikes fly between traffic in movies? It's like that but with these tuk tuks, lol.


Surprised me too about how there's not more crashes. I guess everyone just uses their senses and manage to come out alive. These roads have built cars and army vehicles too, would obliterate this tiny paper mache 3 wheeled bicycle.

It's especially weird because the amount they charge is cheaper than petrol. No idea how they live out here.

Lol, although I remember last time I went, 10 years ago was quite similar, but now they have evolved to have phones. Just got caught off guard by how people live out here. People beg in traffic, knock on the windows. More experienced beggers carry baby's for pity begs. Insane.

They should put these critical thinking beg methods into work, and get paid for it legitimately.

Yeah? Sounds pretty good, how does a typical day in the life compare to UK?

I actually wanted to go to Hawaii, had a good Hawaiin friend and I'm assuming all the people are very similar. (Same way Japanese people are all pretty similar, morals and attitude wise).
