Pope Francis Trades His Popemobile For A Rickshaw!


Francis waved to crowds from the backseat of one of Bangladesh's typical bicycle-pulled rickshaws en route to a meeting of interfaith leaders at the residence of Dhaka's archbishop. Bangladeshi dancers serenaded him as he made his way to the stage for the event, where he was to meet with Rohingya refugees from Myanmar. Francis has shunned the bullet-proof popemobiles of his predecessors, opting instead for open-sided vehicles so he can personally greet the crowds when he goes on foreign trips. In South Asia, that has meant a few spins in modified golf carts. Source
