If you love Urban Decay they you would feel right at home there. The city nothing short of amazing. There are countless old buildings from the British Occupation in various states of repair. Most of these are candid shots and a few shot out the windows of a taxi cab so forgive the quality.

Not sure what route it was running. click to view Scaffolding, the workers went up this stuff like monkeys. They also carried the bricks on their heads. click to view Ambassador Cab.

They typically do not stop for passengers they only slow down. The busses are privately owned. So drivers compete for passengers on the same route. Accidents are common. When I was there a driver took a corner too hard and ran over a number of people standing on the sidewalk. Needless to say he was lynched and the bus set on fire before the police could respond. click to view Hand pulled Rickshaw. click to view stigofthedump  Location: Busan, South Korea Gender: Male  |  Re: Calcutta India <Reply # 5 on 5/9/2008 9:40 AM >   Hey, thanks for posting those pics. I want to spend some time there in the near future. I've spent some time in Rangoon and Cambodia and enjoyed the rotting colonial architecture. Have a look at my photos if you like!
