... doing who knows what amongst the sea of bodies. Moments like that are the sort of thing that set India apart from anywhere else I have ever been in the world. <br><br>Finding a hotel at that ungodly hour proved to be a nightmare. I hired a rickshaw driver to take me around to five different hotels. Three of them (after the front desk person was awakened) claimed they had no more rooms. Two never even answered the knocks and shouts. Up to this ...

... kidnappings, extortion, banditry and violence. It remains one of the least literate and most lawless parts of India. The extreme lawlessness of the area makes buses and private cars targets for bandits. Knowing about this ahead of time we had our game faces on, but did not really encounter anything serious except an increase in staring and random cars loaded with men armed to the teeth.<br><br> There is not much to this town. It mainly consist of the Mahabodi ...

... those around us. From what I understand, Buddhism isn't a religion as such, more a way of life, a way of viewing the world and a persons place within it. In my opinion it is a corrupting, church-like system and so I can fully appreciate those that follow and adhere to it. If we had had time we would have visited other sacred Buddhist sites, but alas, time was against us and so we made do with this little foray.<br><br><br><br><br><br>XXX<br><b r>

... 200 rupees for a tour of the temple. It turned out to be a good decision in that he was quite knowledgeable. He explained that the main gate to the temple is made of granite and covered with inscriptions from the Buddha's teachings-it dates from the 8th century. The principal spire is 177 feet high and surrounded by 4 shorter spires. Inside the inner temple there is a carved stone Buddha, gilded in gold that dates from the 10th century. Behind the ...

... our attack on the Varanasi traffic. After clearing the city limits, the traffic is lighter but the roads are still narrow and in poor condition. The countryside is quite rustic and yet beautiful. Mostly fields of wheat and rice and pastures, dotted with adobe villages. Once every half hour or so we pass a more modern town and its congestion, but mostly we see the small adobe hut villages and lots of cows, bulls and water buffalos, all roaming ...

15/04/09: Nous sommes arrives aujourd'hui a Bodhgaya, lieu sur lequel Siddharta a eu l'illumination en meditant sous son arbre et est ainsi devnu Bouddha. Nous sommes partis tres tot ce matin de Varanassi (6h). Notre guide (et oui, on se fait plaisir...) nous attendait avec une voiture old school, tres classe, avec la clim! Nous sommes arrives a Bodhgaya vers 11h. Il faisait SUPER chaud!!! Je crois qu'a midi, ca atteignait 42 ...

... hrs) we went to a mid range hotel restaurant to sample some of the local grub in style, as we had saved digs money by not sleeping on the bus for 9 hrs. We have both decided, after other travellers advice, to 'go veggie' for this part of the trip ie India as the meat is suspect (not difficult to believe when you see the stuff sitting in the sun covered in flies &amp; worms), and because the veggie food is great and varied. Got recommended some stuffed mushrooms and ...

... bath in the Ghats and do their daily prayers. For some reason all the Japanese tourists were bathing in the Ghats too, all the Indians thought it was pretty funny so did we. One day the owner lala took us out sight seeing, and took us to get this stuff on the street that he always chews for fresh breath. It's called Pan and is a mixture of fruit and nuts and you just chew it all day, we didn't know that, we chewed it and then swallowed it right away, it was so awful and sweet. Varanasi ...

... meditating by the temple in the open air. It was again quite a coincidence to be there at the same time as him since he lives in Colorado like me. His sangha seemed quite restless in the Indian open air and one lady seemed to be meditating on how to get the marks out of her white trousers... Bodhgaya had great food at the Om Cafe - a Tibetan run cafe and also the Om ...
