Finally: Video!

Okay. I've had it. I've been trying to upload videos to this blog for hours and hours. So I finally just uploaded them to YouTube, and added the links here. You have to go there to see them, then return. I'm so sorry, but they are worth seeing, I promise.

The first video, "Driving in Chennai" was taken in our rented car, with our driver, Balaji. I always felt safe driving with him, even in the front seat. The best things about this video are all the interesting things you see as the world passes by. There are so many kinds of vehicles, so many dangerous traffic moves, so many interesting people by the side of the road, so many stray dogs (try counting them!) Other animals by the roadside...different shops, different kinds of clothes. I could watch it over and over, and see different things every time.

This next video, "AutoMadness" makes driving with Balaji look like a kiddie ride next to a roller-coaster. Auto-rickshaw rides are thrilling, but a little dangerous. Even Anni said "OMG" when she watched this video. This was my second Auto ride, and the driver was pretty crazy, but the last ride I went on (number four) was the craziest so far. One time Aunty was in an auto accident where the auto she was riding in fell over. That is what scares me most. Luckily, she wasn't killed!

Edit: This video is not visible right now because the music I used was copyrighted (oops.) Because I lost the original footage, I would have to retrieve it from YouTube to make the changes then re-upload. It's on my To Do list.)

I hope you enjoy the videos. I'd love to hear what you thought of them, and about what things you saw that were the most interesting or that you liked the most.

Until then, be good.

  1. NUTS! When I click on the youtube links, I get a message saying that "these videos are private." Perhaps there's a setting you can change, or use an embed code along with changing privacy settings?

  2. My bad...I accidentally listed them as "private" rather than "unlisted." It's fixed now.
