Lesson 13 (Two Episodes): Driving a Rickshaw 1000 Km across India in the Rickshaw Challenge with the “Not Fast, Just Furious” Team + Becky’s Own Experience in Her Rickshaw

In part 1 of Lesson 13, Becky talks with the all-Norwegian team “Not Fast, Just Furious” from the Rickshaw Challenge Classic Run, which required drivers to drive 1000 km across Southern India from Chennai to Trivandrum from December 28, 2018–January 6, 2019. Harald and Magnus share their experiences on the road in India, dealing with Indian traffic, and the difference between Indian and Norwegian culture. They also go into detail about social benefits in Norway, including health care, education, and vacation policy, and their previous experiences going on adventures around the world.

In part 2 of Lesson 13, Becky shares her own experience on the Rickshaw Challenge, a 10-day journey from December 28, 2018–January 6, 2019. In the planning of the event, Becky ended up forming a team of people she had never met in person to drive 1,000 km with her. Let’s just say not everything went according to plan and the twists and turns of this story are hilarious, frustrating, and sometimes downright terrifying, but it was indeed a true adventure.
