Motorcycling it in Raxaul

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of me on the back of Motilal's motorcycle! I needed to run errands a few times in Raxaul, and that was about the only way it was going to happen...

It was fun once I got over being frightened about not having a helmet or any protective gear and worried that I would get knocked off by other traffic or gored by an ox. 



Most of the roads are not paved...



...and the air quality can be pretty bad. They produce both coal and cement here.






Potholes can provide a challenge, especially when filled with water.




Yes, we are riding the motorcycle down the sidewalk, and yes, sharing it with oncoming oxen! They are gigantic!
