Interesting chap, my rickshaw puller
Sadly, despite my initial reservations about riding on a human powered rickshaw pulled by another fellow human being, my 30 min tour run by the Ebisuya Asakusa Rickchaw Tours sadly came to an end soon. And my feeling bad for him aside, my rickshaw puller was none the worse for the wear and appears fit and ready to go on for another two hours! (yes, two hour rides area available as well but they cost a bomb). So when I told my jolly rickshaw puller guide about it, he changed this route slightly to set me down here near a store where I could find them- that is just behind the rickshaw a across the street. And despite having run for half an hour without rest, hauling me along, my good rickshaw man was very apologitic that he had to set me down here and I would have to walk another 100 yards to the nearest metro station!. He gave me a little souvenir from the ride- a pamphlet, a sticker and a post card and gave me this pose before he went on his way. (Tokyo, Japan, Apr/ May 2019)
