On Tuk-Tuks

When one first arrives in Sri Lanka, he is fascinated by little cute 3-wheel cars called tuk-tuk (they have a cute name as well). Upon embarking on one of the colorful little cars covered in cartoo charater and flower stickers, one comes to realize that the cute little cars are in fact, little death machines. Everybody here is a bad driver and life is elusive when one is on the road, but danger reaches its extreme when you find yourself in the middle of these merciless, crazy drivers while in a tuk tuk. Here they are considered to be a convenient means of transport, but I will dare to say that it's also an effective way of population control.
