    My first instinct to this question was "no" - I feel it is a bit degrading to the person carrying you. Besides, my legs are as good as theirs!

    I do occasionally use rickshaws in Town though (little carriages driven by a bloke on a pushbike). So I guess in a way that is a little similar... maybe I am a hypocrite!

    Indeed at first sight it looks quite strange.
    But having been to China I could see that almost all European and American women including their girls were riding sedan-chairs without any scruples.
    Two chinese men carry well-built european ladies oer hours in their sedan-chairs and the only topic of the ladies was, that this service is that much comfortable and so cheap.
    For a whole day you pay 10 USD for such a sedan-chair and most women preferred this lazy service to an exhausting hike up to the hill.
    And this happens more and more today and thed Chinese porters are even happy to have so many passengers.
    I did not meet any lady or girl who had scruples to take a seat in he sedan-chair carried by two Chinese who were shorter as they were.
