Hugo homework: short stories and novelettes, Tasmaster NZ

I have to say I liked the chase in the tuktuks in this week's Ms Marvel the most ... ;-)

The tuktuk chase was definitely fun! So colorful! :D (weirdly, just a couple of days earlier I saw tuktuks mentioned on my flist -- albeit not in the context of a chase by evil djinn -- which, I don't think I've encountered tuktuks in at least several years, and suddenly both on my flist and on the screen in one week. (I don't think I've ever seen an operating one, but the animal park we go to near Antwerp has the path along their Indian subcontinent part of the park decorated with a bunch of "local" things, including IIRC a tuktuk that children can climb into and take photos with.)

I saw tuktuks in Lisbon actually. They are mainly used to carry tourists up to the castle. I wish I'd had that opportunity but noooooo ... we had to walk up!

Hah, the mention on my flist was also in Lisbon. Which, when we were there, I don't remember seeing any of them around -- not sure if they're a relatively new addition, or we just didn't venture into the places where they would hang out, since we only overnighted there and didn't go very far from the place we were staying, which I think may have been not in the most touristy part of town.
