... but for the most part everything is manageable. My host family has been very conscious about easing me into the spices. I'm living with a retired couple in the east part of the city. They have two older daughters, one is married and lives in London, and the other is engaged and lives with her fiance in Mumbai. Before retirement my host mother was an English lit professor at the local college and my host father worked for NGOs. Unlike in ...

... what their major crop was, because it had just been harvested. Tried asking the villagers but none of them could even understand the question. As I said, this was a town on the verge of corruption. I was cycling hard to get to one of the 2 villages listed in LP, Akoda or Thikarda. However, at the well-marked entrances of both of them were young touts who insisted that I hire them as a guide. Incredible India... Everywhere else, this kind of behavior is ...

... my freshly shaven head. Did check out the hill-top fort whislt I was there, got a great view of the town from its ramparts, the towns 'Haveli's' which I believe is a conatation of 'Homes' are mostly painted blue..... Mostly. A sky blue, that stretches into the middle distance like the lake that the old city circles.

... bindi marks (the indians love the fact we're married but cannot understand why we have no children) and baggy pants and feeling all indian I organised a music lesson. At 7 we went to this guy's house set in a maze of side alleys and sat down in his bedroom and learnt some Sitar and Tabla (the bongo-style drums). Loved it! He showed me some of his skills on the instruments before i politely declined the usual offers to sell me (and ship) my own sitar home ...

... not too dangerous. By the time I got back to my room the Ozzy girl had killed it. It was already weak as it was missing its head! Now, who the heck got the head off the scorpion? The lady said it does sting with poison, but is not deadly! She also said that it is not nice to kill animals but we were excused for this time. It was a small brown one like the ones they sell at night market in Beijing to eat of course! That didn't help me ...

... zlutě namalovaný pás s červenými ozdobami, je to očividně namalováno ručně a vypadá to na akrylové barvy. Je tam i nápis, ale na jeho znění se raději zeptejte Massima. Řidič, motor a lavice jsou odděleny od ostatní části autobusu a schody jsou více vzadu, proto je mimo řidiče nutný jestě jeden člověk, který prochází autobusem a vydává jízdenky.

... 100.000 abitanti, un paesino per gli standard indiani), e la strada del bazar era zeppa di gente che assisteva ad una sfilata di ragazzi che suonavano il tamburo o di fachiri con fili di acciaio infilati nella carne (avete letto bene). Non ci siamo attardati, perché con i bagagli eravamo tre volte una tartaruga ninja, con un millesimo delle loro capacitŕ fisiche. Ma mentre sgusciavamo e schiacciavamo i passanti contro un tamburo o contro un chioschetto, mi č balzato agli occhi ...
