Life through the shutters of a Tuk-tuk

That last post was not me. I read this post and comment thread and was driven to blog my own thoughts. After having done so, I see that I have completely missed the point.Oh well...

On another front, being deprived of Christina's company for the whole of last week gave me an opportunity to see the world through the windscreen of a tuk-tuk and through the shutters of a bus. The world looked different!

From a 3-wheeler the world somehow looks bigger nastier, waiting to put you in the deepest muck it can come up with. The world is full of details; you see finer details such as mini-skirt clad legs sticking out of other tuk-tuks, number plates of cars, roadkill, etc. From a bus, the world looks puny, less detailed, you see crowds and buildings; still see those mini clad legs though, but you know what i mean.

Does our mode of transport determine how we see the world around us?
