Koohii stories:

1) [Megaqwerty] 20-7-2007(22): I hop into my palanquin, my car of sorts, such that I may be transported to my next location of entertainment.

2) [mantixen] 30-7-2009(17): A palanquin is a car used for the entertainment of royalty when they want to take a joyride.

3) [sgrant] 25-3-2010(2): A palanquin is not exactly the same as a car, but it's a hell of a lot more entertaining to watch!

4) [Meconium] 9-3-2010(2): Before there were cars, the lesser nobility (who lived in small towns with only one long main street) used to be carried up and down the street in their palanquins for entertainment. Little has changed today, but this activity is available to all youths with cars and little better to do.

5) [kanjisensei] 22-10-2009(1): Although they used to be used for real, nowadays in old towns in Japan, tourists can ride in a Palanquin car for their entertainment. As each palanquin is hand-made, none of them are the same!
