Lets hope it doesn't get infested with ants/mice/gecko's...<br>Dropped my stuff of and went for lunch after which Nitin dropped me and Raj to Haridwar center/market area while he went home for Diwali preps. He gave me some Indian sweets as a gift which was nice of him.<br>Me and Raj walked around in the baking heat, past the semi dry Ganga river bed - it had been diverted for 15 days ...

I thought I might not write any more about Haridwar &amp; Rishikesh as I have done it already (pls read more in my entry &#8216;Haridwar&#8216;) but during the weekend I was visiting those places again there was so much happening that I decided to share a bit with you.<br><br>First interesting thing - it happens so often and I still can not get over it&#8230;<br><br>We went to a hotel where I stayed for few weeks and asked an older receptionist who didn&#8217;t recognize me ...

... conversation consists of the same tripe that stoned Westerners have been jabbering in India since 1960 and that they possibly aren't as interesting or original as they think they are. The nonsense spewing from their mouths reminds me of the discussions I used to have when I was fifteen and embarrassing. Essentially what happened was a group of these idiots invaded our space and started shouting their rubbish at us. The girls sat quietly and I tried to ...

... and plan to return the next time we are in India, for more performances, adventures and experiences here in this wonderful city. We are now on our way back to New Delhi just for a night before taking another train, The Famous Raj Dani Express, to Mumbai. This will be the last place that Justin, Natalie and I will see here in India and we'll leave Jon and Shayna to the rest of their time here in Incredible India! Namaste, Andrew, Jonathan, Justin, Shayna &amp; Natalie.

... would be like to die here. What would those watching think? How would my friends and family take it when they get the news? 7 seconds I have what alcoholics refer to as 'a moment of clarity', my instinctive thrashing will get me nowhere, my brain kicks in and I remember the pull cord at the front of 'the deck', this is an oval of material similer to a wetsuit that has a polo neck style opening that goes around my torso and creates an airtight seal between me, and the ...

... It's HUGE...with amazing locker rooms and so many different treatment rooms. We met the spa manager (Mark) who was extremely nice to both of us and helped us rearrange our schedules even more. After lunch we had our first personalized yoga session with Sushil. Sushil is a great teacher and despite the fact that Tanya is way, way advanced at yoga...and I am way, way not...he still managed to find time to work with both of us and all of our classes with ...

... important part of the car. There are many different kinds of honks that I'm starting to pick up on. There is the "I'm here, don't hit me honk." And the "I'm going around a blind turn on the wrong side of the road, watch out if you're coming towards me." Which are two of the more common honks.
