... les fleurs ne sont pas encore sorties. La fleur ressemble beaucoup au Crocus. Elle est toute violette et le Safran est les deux tiges intérieures (désolé pour la lacune dans mon vocabulaire biologique) séchées. Les tiges jaunes n’ont pas de parfum et sont utilisées pour la cosmétique. Un autre arręt nous permet de voir la fabrication de raquettes de Cricket. Il faut savoir que le sport national indien est le Cricket et le Polo, des résidus de la colonisation ...

Though everybody tells me th*t the p*ss tow*rd Leh is closed I hop on * loc*l bus trying to re*ch *t le*st Sonm*rg, * town on the snow border. But, for some re*son I will end up going in the wrong direction *nd enjoy myself *nyw*y. For the moment I *m, however, struck by the *rquitecture of K*shmir. Multi-sl*nted, wooden rooves top the h*lf-timbered brick structures. Fine c*rvings enh*nce ...

... wood with four bedrooms. The first morning I went to the morning vegetable market where about 20-30 shikaras (canoes) gather to sell their vegetables to others. One day I walked to the other side of the lake where there is a hill with a fort on top. The actual fort is closed but halfway up the hill there's a mosque. I've been here a week now and I ...

... i modlení - vzdy jak jinak nez směrem k Mecce. Stojí tu i mihrab z černého mramoru, na němz je vytesáno 99 Aláhových jmen. Po mensí procházce starým městem, které je tvořeno starými rozbitými (kdysi neuvěřitelně krásnými) dřevěnými domy jsme malými uličkami plnými krámků se vsím mozným dorazili k hrobce sultána Zain-Ul-Abdina. Budova je zajímavá zvenku, je z červených cihel a okolí je přímo poseto malými hroby s n ...

... t talk to anyone. It's amazing how much they don't even trust each other; at night Shafi wanted all gear inside a tent, not just under a fly. The terrain was quite gorgeous, although one had to watch one's step for the (sometimes amazing amounts of) horse, sheep, and cow **** everywhere. Fortunately Shafi also shared our sentiments on camping in isolation and picked sites away from the cow pastures. Tourism is still very light; we would see no more than one or two ...

... z nich probuje nas zagadac, na co zgadzamy sie poczatkowo bardzo niechetnie. Po krotkiej wymianie informacji owy typ zaprasza nas na wieczor panienski swojej siostry, na co przystajemy ochoczo. Prowadzi nas przez ciemne zaulki do domu weselnego przyozdobionego z zewnatrz jak bozonarodzeniowa choinka. Kulturalnie zdejmujemy buty, nie przejmujac sie juz wedrujaca larwa:). Dolaczamy do spiewajacej gromady ...

Gdy dotarlismy na startowe miejsce trekkingu (wioska Naranagh), bylo juz po 17 tej. Zafeer wyslal nas z mlodocianym cyganem na polgodzinny spacerek wzdluz rzeki i to byl nasz pierwszy dzien trekkingu.Troche nas ta beznadziejna organizacja ...

... always triggered a nasty cultural taint- political correctness (P.C.B.S.). "How can you say a billion people stink?" Then I boarded my flight in Bangkok, noticed the odor, and smiled when the stewardess made two sweeps with an air freshener. I felt alright going three days without a shower in clothes I hadn't washed for three weeks. I was in India, er, Kashmir. The biggest discomfort came simply in walking down the street. A meter of ...

... 26 ye*rs l*ter, we encountered * whole convoy of milit*ry vehicles th*t were driving in the opposite direction. Despite the two l*ne ro*d, one in either direction, the he*vy milit*ry vehicles kept pretty much to the center of the ro*d, thereby t*king up h*lf of our l*ne. This slowed us down immensely, *s we were driving with one wheel of the ro*d. I counted 169 vehicles in this milit*ry convoy, *nd it took us *bout one hour to p*ss them.

As we droven on ...
