Hotel Broadway Srinagar

... with the youngsters about general things. They were fascinated that I understood them (they were speaking Urdu/Hindi) and could say a few things back. For some reason the schools in Kashmir don't teach Kashmiri so the kids do not know it very well and converse in Urdu/Hindi and also know English.
Zahn seemed to be the ever talking bratty younger brother to his sister and cousins. His sister, who I didn't catch the name of ...

... the ten morons that are in this travel office. One ******* kept saying, "You are American right???.......GOD BLESS AMERICA MAN!!!"
So I just shrugged it off and didn't feel like battling since I was already somewhat uncomfortable, but dipshit just wouldn't let it go.
I finally said, "Why all the sarcasm my brother?" At which time he shook his head at me and went to go toke on some more hashish. I just smirked and gave him the finger. Not to mention every piece of ...

... However what I really wanted to do was to throw the hot tea in his face, kick him in the nuts, hit him round the head with the ash tray, before strangling him with the phone cord.

I consoled myself with the though that the package included with the flight was cheaper than just the flight. I had broken even. And I was perfectely poised for my assault on Northern India. And to be quite honest I was quietely content to be getting out of Paradise.

... some samosa's in the old city and found a nice place to stop and had a nice lunch of Kashmiri tea and samosa'a on the lake. Kashmiri tea is a very sweet spicy tea but quite nice was you are aware of the amount of sugar and can ask for not too much sugar. I ...

... 367;. My jsme si kopec vyslápli po svých a v druhé polovině výstupu se k nám přidal jeden Kasmířan na mopedu, dal se s náma do řeči a uz nás nepustil. Tentokrát to byl sympatický mladík pocházející ze Srinagaru a pracující jako novinář v Dillí. Byl tu na pár týdnů na prázdninách, kamarády prý tu uz zádné nemá a tak byl nad míru spokojen, ze si mohl anglicky povídat se dvěma Evropany. Jeho přítomnost nám nevadila, protoze si opravdu cht ...

... ogni mattina, facevamo colazione seduti sul pavimento di linoleum della cucina, ordinata e pulita. "Nel '93 non c'era nessun turista. Nessuno. Per mangiare abbiamo dovuto vendere i mobili della house-boat in affitto. E non era bastato: abbiamo chiesto aiuto ai turisti occidentali con cui eravamo diventati amici". "Ci hanno aiutato", ha concluso il papŕ con un misto di riconoscenza ma anche di orgoglio, perché nella sua vita si era guadagnato la fiducia di tanta gente. Č difficile ...

... else's trails. As the snow was fairly fresh...there were hardly any trails on the mountain...people would kill for this kind of snow in the U.S. but here there was an entire mountain full of it. Getting down was hard work and I had to stop every few hundred yards to catch my breath and rest my legs. I ended up staying mainly on others tracks for the first run which was probably harder work than making my own tracks. The first day I ...

I am fulfilling my long-held dream of staying on one of the gorgeous houseboats on Dal Lake. Back in colonial times, the ruling Maharajah of Kashmir refused the Brits landowning rights, leaving them no choice but to build and live in houseboats on the huge lake and today the boats are a step back to that time. The houseboat 'Moonshine', in a peaceful spot on Nagin Lake, an offshoot of the main ...

... out the 'No big deals'. I should have told him to **** off. Instead I signed his book so he could show other tourists that at some point in time he had a conversation with a man from the United States; it was my escape. I later saw that telling him no and walking off would have been better for us both. Sometimes harshness is more respectful to all parties involved. The next few days the upper lift opened at sometime between 11 and ...
