... street. I just walk past, making sure as to not get into her picture, he she starts huffing and puffing while screaming at me. I usually never get into fights with people in public like this, but that day, I could not help it. I asked her if she was serious, told her that she was insane and that it's ridiculous to be so high strung while on vacation. Dad told her that she'd better run off and she belongs on the metro. Go Dad, as ...

... only source of water for the city. The entrance to the lake is thru a beautiful archway that was built in the 1400s by a royal courtesan (meaning prostitute) named Telia. The ruling queen was offended that such a lowlife would build such an imposing structure and that she, the queen, would have to pass under it to visit the lake-so, it was ordered destroyed. Being somewhat smarter than the queen, Telia quickly ordered a statue of the god ...

... screw it' and willingly committed travel suicide. The process for making the the drink went something like this. Smash a lime between two wooden blocks, pour the resulting juice into a glass, scoop sugar out of a big tin and put it in the glass, take a old litre bottle filled with sugar paste (a seperated substance that is solid white on the bottom and sorta clear liquid on the top) and poor some into the glass, break open a prefrozen bottle of ...

... Rocket. Raju, in his unstoppable horniness, had taken to trying it on with all comers be they male or female. I did worry that the thin piece of rope I now held was unlikely to do anything to stop a truly determined sexually rampant camel. I smiled nervously at Raju once more. After the craziness of the day we settled down for chicken and beers round a campfire deep in the desert. I taught Nico and Anti - Thevelvetunderground's real name as I was to learn ...

... came in. After dinner we sat round the campfire and had some Indian songs sang to us by our guides while enjoying a slightly warm but very tasty bottle of Kingfisher beer. Talking to these guys I realised that they spent considerable amounts of their life out in the desert away from civilization. The leader was 27, married with 4 kids and could go as long as 3-4 months with out seeing them while out in the desert ...

... day, so we went to the local stadium to admire a show of Indian dances. We were the only non Indians here.I think there was even a male female division in the seats. Sean seemed to be the only man in the bunch of women and children. <br><br> The next day (27/01), we visited the Jain temples only a few feet away from our haveli. It only opens for an hour or two per day for tourists to visit. The priests are hardly dressed (with a loose toga which ...

Up early for the train, we head out of a quiet guest house to the station. Surprisingly, India seems to arise fairly late as I may have previously noted. We see lots of beds lined up outside shops with scores of people still sleeping under thick blankets and the station is packed with lumps under shawls. As is becoming a trend, the train is late - only an hour this time. We freeze at the station as the sun rises though. This seems to be the coldest ...

We had tickets on a sleeper bus from Pushkar, through Ajmer and onto the golden wonderland, sandcastle in the desert, Jaisalmer. The bus was of course not the one in the brochure but a much older model, a ricketty rattler on an already bumpy enough road. The set up was a little curtained off cabin for two sized 1.8 metres long by 1 metre wide that you reached by climbing up some bunk bed style ladders. There are seats below the sleeping cabins. Problem was that ...
