| the poor kid is asleep, a common sight |
Who knew that riding a scooter could be such a family affair?
As I'm sure you've figured out by now, scooters are an extremely popular form of transportation here, as they are relatively cheap to operate and they rarely stop moving, even when cars are at a standstill. In the States, we typically see one person riding at a time, or perhaps two if it’s a Harley or something large. But here, they are scooters and the name of the game is “how many can you pack on?”
As many as 4 persons per scooter is very common. Five persons are not as common, although you can see that on occasion as well. Of course to fit that many, at least 2 need to be little people.

Since motorcycles are always on the move (as am I), it’s not that easy to get good shots of this. And also I try to be discreet and not point my camera right at them so these are as good as I've gotten so far…but you get the idea….
