What can you do on a motorcycle?



I am going to dedicate this part of my blog to show pictures of what people do on motorcycles here. You name it, they do it! So far I just have captured a few pictures. The first is of a couple who has an actual fire in the back of their motorcycle. My aunt says that they were making coal, which I don't know how to begin to make that! I couldn't imagine how hot they must have been wearing dark clothing, hauling a fire behind! The next picture is of a family leaving Lotus, which is the Thai equivalent to a super Walmart. They have everything there, and a lot of American things too! They were in the middle of a 3 lane highway, turning around. There are no helmets, or child seats. The kid is standing in a metal basket in the middle of a wheel and the motorcycle. Also you might notice that they are all wearing yellow. Yellow is the King's color, and most people wear it on Monday to honor him.

The last is a guy who has a tiny little shop attached to his motorcycle. If you look closely you can see that there are bags of fruit in a case on his left side... he must be a busy man!
