Riding the Jesus Bus


In Kerala, a sizeable percentage of the population is Christian. As in Chennai, it was common to see one’s religious affiliation displayed in the form of images and symbols on auto rickshaws and other vehicles. Here in Kerala, they go one step further, naming busses, trucks, etc. according to their religious affiliation. Here you can see the Jesus bus. Or if you prefer, you could take the Hindu Ammu bus!

Here I am! Instead of making dinner, I've been reading your blog for nearly an hour! I've got to check in everyday as to avoid a backlog. Love the photos, and your adventures, like the missing backpack...what a fright. And the Jesus bus! What's its destination...?!
