Sri Lanka, and other parts of Asia have many three wheeled vehicles called Tuk Tuks. We use them to get back and forth to the hospital. The hospital is about a mile from where we live and eat. It would normally be a good walk, although the temperatures are so hot during the day that I wouldn't recommend it. The other problem has been the military check point just outside the hospital grounds. If you are in a vehicle, they don't stop you. However, if you are walking, you get stopped and your papers are checked. So we take the Tuk Tuk. This is the MSF Tuk Tuk, and inside our driver is smiling and waving. The other thing that I should mention about these vehicles is that when they are in use, the road or path or whatever becomes the field of play for the largest game of chicken that I have ever seen. So far, we have been winning.
