The RMSers are facing hard times.
The local soft drink establishment has decided to introduce a foreigners tax on their 200ml coke bottles - increasing the price from the pirinted maximum retail price of 6Rs to an outrageous 7Rs.
It is somewhat of a tradition in these parts to grab a coke after tiffin, and with this being the only shop within walking distance, and our stubborness/conviction still stong we have been compelled to look further afield for our fix.
So in our pursuit of 6Rs coke during lunch we now have to cycle to sector 29. Here, foreigners tax is set to a respectable 0%, however I do incur the extra cost of giving Vladan a ride due to his lack of peddle based transport.
Fortunately I am becoming accustomed to the Indian style of tandem cycling having previously having Rishi (our landlady's servant boy) jump on the back of Agnes out of the blue, a lazy Nacho, and a drunk Jean on the back.
I think I will have to start charging soon though - pandera rupee only!

Fight the injustice, pay no foreigners' tax! :)
