Ode to the Moto



If it weren't for the frequent accidents and air pollution, the moto would truly be the perfect way to get around: it's cheap, you can park anywhere, and most importantly, you can transport pretty much anything on it: your girlfriend, your two girlfriends, your grandmother, your entire family of four or five, your sleeping 2-year old (with her sleepy head resting in one of your palms, while you are steering the moto with the other), your dog, a door, a basket with 250 raw eggs, another motorcyle, a bonsai tree, a mirror, a bicycle, your entire business in the shape of a street stall, freshly picked coconuts from your backyard...I wished I had photos of all these - but the motos zoom by, and it's hard to capture on film...but we really saw it all...
