Surprise, surprise!!!Guess what this vehicle is called in Japanese?
Its called a - 'Rickshaw'.
Learn't that the word and the vehicle came from Japan.
Wiki says its a Japanese name. So I get to agree.
And we though only Suzuki, Nissan, Honda and Toyota came from Japan.
And guess what ...How much does it take to get a ride in this.....
8000 Yen for a 10 minute ride!! (Thats roughly Rs. 2700!!!!!)
Now you know its a picture of me standing beside it and NOT riding on it ;-)
Some Gyaan:
The word "rickshaw" originates from the Japanese word jinrikisha
(jin = human, riki = strength, sha = vehicle), which literally means "human-powered vehicle."

P.S:
Well, not much of any entry I guess, but anyway i was pleasantly surprised to learn this.
btw the guy in the picture is me :-), if you didnt get it yet.
