Vacation for February 13, 2006

For today's vacation, contributor Michael Bietenholz takes for a ride in a coco taxi. He explains, 'In Havana there are three-wheeled moped-taxis, much like the auto-rickshaws common in Asia. The Cuban version is called a coco taxi and is distinguished by its coconut-shaped fiberglass body. In this recording my partner Jennifer and I zoom along in one, down Havana's famous seaside Malecon on our way to the equally famous Coppelia ice-cream parlour. Fast, cheap, dirty and out of control!' Michael made this quasi-binaural recording with a homemade 'recording hat' featuring two built-in condenser mics and a minidisc recorder.
