Hotel Jahanvi Haridwar

... areas.*<br><br>*- With both the terrible economy plus swine flu scares, there are hardly any tourists here at all. It makes the huge number of people involved in tourism even more desperate for your money. This makes what is already a constant annoyance pretty much sad, and while you feel bad, every shop you walk in front of desperately clamors for your business, even though they sell the same **** as everywhere else.

... gorgeous, but it took us longer than anticipated and so near the end we were literally running, in 100 degree weather, to get to our next interview. It was hot and exhausting... but luckily our next interviewee was waiting for us. His name is Swami Dharmanand and he is a teacher at our ashram. I cannot wait for you all to see this interview- he is such an amazing spirit and he had very interesting things to say about Hinduism (the predominate religion of India), about God, life ...

... explore a bit. I ran into David, Clara (Mexican girl) and Sunny near the water's edge. Rishikesh has the beautiful river Ganga running through it with picturesque mountains in the background as well as two scenic suspension bridges. It was quite nice breathing clean air in once more. Alex (a Polish girl) and Maggie (an Asian girl of some sort) had found a place to get a massage done and set up a meeting for dinner around 8:30 PM). Sunny, Clara and I walked around the ...

... olbrzymie. Dzungla budzi sie o zmierzchu kiedy zwierzeta wychodza, by zdobyc cos na obiad. My raczej nie jestesmy na liscie ich menu.

... rafting here. I ask one of the outfitters if the water is clean, and he replies, "Do you want to drink it?" So I just get right to my point, "Is there sewage in there?' Even though this is the Upper Ganges, I am anticipating the answer. "Yes," he replies. Rafting is dangerous anyway. I did manage to take a beginner yoga course today. No, I am not yet able to fit myself into a three foot by three foot Lucite box. In fact, they had to tailor a ...

... turquoise colour at this point, so it was great to swim along and get conveniently cleansed of our sins at the same time. The local council have instigated very strict measures to ensure the Ganges remains clean and non-polluted, however their efforts are somewhat futile as further down the river the Ganges acts as toilet, rubbish dump, and crematorium, among other things. But more about that later on... Continuing with the theme of getting involved with it all ...

... Haridwar I was really looking forward to it...however, a long and sleepless night train later (in which a thief tried to steal my bag from between my seat back and my back and I had to hit him with my water bottle...the rest of the passengers just pretended like they didn't see!) as we sat in a tourist restaurant called "Big Ben's," empty except for us and 3 other disheartened tourists spinning tails of their terrible time in ...

... What a hardship. Following the slightly more intensive evening yoga, the evenings would inevitably be spent in the Little Buddha, still busy despite the rains, or at the occasional jam session in the place next door. Two weeks disappeared fast. One of the other major factors in choosing the course was the teacher. On several recommendations, I opted for the course offered by Ram. Fairly gentle at first, with plenty of 'relax' positions - ie, just standing or ...
