Schnecken on the run

We are….why aren´t they?

Just how many HONKS does a HORN have?

That´s exactly what we noticed the minute we took our first taxi ride from the airport into Delhi. Is it music to their ears? Its absolutely noise pollution to ours—There´s a definite difference in how ONE uses their HORNS here compared to Canada or Germany. It´s considered a courtesty here…”I´ll just honk the whole time I drive, so all the millions of other drivers and pedestrians know that I´m driving and then turning and then stopping and NOW accelerating (better Honk double speed..and I better hit the HORN harder so that its nice and loud) ..I am a really great driver..my car and I are going places together!”

I´m not a huge super fan of the HONK—especially as an alarm clock at 5 am outside of The Royal Holidays Hotel…or is it The Royal Honk Hotel?

We´ve quickly learned to qlench our butt cheeks together the second we hear a HONK—Thanks to Hamburg´s Bike Autobahns, I am well trained for a quick response!! Sooooo on the tip of my cultural learning curve—maybe we shouldn´t be so rushed into insult mode when we hear the rubbernecker behind us HONKING….just imagine, perhaps he is from Delhi!…Just smile and wave…and not with your middle finger (-; …HAPPY HONKING!!
