Bangladeshi Rickshaws
Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 7:05PM
This is a series of clips from my recent trip to Bangladesh last month, they were all shot while waiting in traffic in Dhaka. Everything but the first two clips was shot "over cranked" at 48fps.
In Dhaka: a dense urban landscape, the streets are crammed with Bicycle Rickshaws. Rickshaw drivers, called Wallahs, decorate their vehicles with bright colors and gold and silver foils to attracts attention and fairs.

Jon, did you just put that together today? Great video!
I'm putting in a request for a minimum of 600px wide body area for your blog. Your images and video are too good to try cramming into 415px. :)
Yeah, I just pulled it together. Really, I need to move it over to my site so I have full control. I can't get Vimeo to go any wider on Wordpress :(
Hey! I can't remember how I found out about your blog (did you link to it from facebook?), but I love these two videos. Looking forward to more.
Good stuff Jon!
Just a correction, rikshaw pullers are called "rikshaw wala" (no h), where "wala" means owner.

Nice Shuler,
This brought back some memories. Did you ever get to play dodge that CNG? Also, Frogger.
