The New Rickshaw!

The rickshaw is finished and delivered! Tabarok brought it by tonight and it is easily one of the fanciest rickshaws we have seen yet. It is totally awesome.

Oh and here is the ultra-symbolic message: Jon and Som (that's as close as anybody ever gets to Sam's name - there isn't really the aa sound in Bangla) from USA in Bangladesh. The flag is missing some stars but it makes up for it in stripes, so it all evens out!
It was tough to get great pictures at night but we'll be riding this sucker for almost a year, so you'll see plenty more of it! Thanks again to everyone who helped out - Tabarok has said thanks to everyone again and again (so much that we told him he didn't need to keep saying it, in fact...). This really has changed his life and it is fun that our friends and family could participate.

On a side note, and for future blog readers that might want to buy a rickshaw - the rickshaw is only part of the expense, there is also a registration cost with Dhaka city, which isn't small. Thanks to everyone who donated and anyone who didn't get around to it can still definitely chip in. We'll take the button down soon, but for now haven't quite covered the full cost...

Anyway, today was a great day and we are excited to see it in the daylight!
