An episode from the series TAXI TO ASIA

Synopsis

Dhaka
Half a million rickshaws, three-wheeled cycles, are everywhere in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. They are beautifully decorated works of art, but they cause enormous traffic jams and are therefore banned from several city streets. At 80 years old, Amir continues to fight against the cycle of poverty.

vs

Malacca
The trishaw (a tricycle with a side seat for two people) is extremely popular with tourists and an original way to explore Malacca, one of Malaysia's most beautiful cities. They are works of art decorated with bells, garlands, and images of soccer players or movie stars. Ah Siang has spent more than half his life driving a trishaw.
