Paradise Hotel Jodhpur

... the airport to the city. So Tony and I just walked out of the airport and tried to get into the first waiting tuk tuk at just a fraction of the price quoted just inside the airport premises. This set off a fight among the drivers for our business, taking into account everybody's interests and desires - except ours. We stuck to our guns and made the ride to our hotel for a mere 100 rupees.

Being able to book a ...

... br>i spent two days there and i find that Mr.yogi ( yogi guest house owner )

The rooms and environment of yogi's guest house is dirty smelly all the rooms are
surrounded by the gas pipe of toilets so 24 hrs smell like **** everywhere

... before, but Indian museums are really spectacularly uninformative. I have read lonely planet describe three separate institutions as "charmingly uninformative" in their labeling, but this place, for the charm of the unhelpful, is a clear winner. The museum itself is five large, slowly deteriorating rooms, one of which was half covered in scaffolding, itself half covered in the small family of pigeons who have made the place their home ...

... the rest of India, not fun to walk around. The second you step outside you either almost step in cow manure or get hit by a speeding motorbike. I swear I am not joking moving vehicles in India aim for you instead of avoid you. I don't think they even realize they are doing it. One day we took an auto rickshaw to Umaid Bhawan Palace. Part of it is now transformed into a super exclusive hotel. We went to the hotel and asked about room rates ...

... a potter, weaver and block printer. Those were okay but we did feel a little pressured into buying their stuff. Our last stop in the state of Rajathan was Mount Abu. Mount Abu is the hill station of Rajasthan with much cooler temperatures. This is where people escape to in the summer to get away from the heat. We arrived in Mount Abu at 9:30pm and took a taxi from the train station. It was about a 40 minute ...

I'm not sure if I mentioned this in previous posts, but every time I accomplish anything in India it feels like this giant accomplishment! Today, I made it over another hurdle....fixing an electronic device in India. I asked at my guest house if there was somewhere to fix a camera, and they informed me that yes there was, and not only that but they'd drive me there! So I take it in and I agree to pay 2000 Rs if they can fix it (which is around ...

... plodding, reminds me of the inevitability of death for some reason, and I chill out... " No no no kiddo...big ****ing problem.....I pay for three meals, I get rice and gruel....fine, I pay for a camel, I get a retarded donkey with a hunchback....fine..But I didn't pay for you two ****wads to dick around in the back of a camel cart under the umbrella all day and get me lost in the bloody desert!!!...I could have done that myself for christ's sake!" The boys apologize ...

... tuk driver to take us. When we got there, the tuk tuk driver and his mate said they'd wait outside til we were finished our meal etc. I said not to coz it was 10pm and we were gonna be a couple of hours but he insisted. After we finished eating we felt a bit bad that the two lads were outside waiting for a measly 50 rupees (less than 1 euro) to bring us home. So we went out and asked them if they'd like to ...

... of. (I DID find the folklore museum, twice, but it didn't help much.) My ISP advisor, a totally awesome and wonderfully positive woman named Melia, seemed to be out of cell-range and so around 2PM I gave up and decided to do some research online using SITs library system. Then the powercuts started. Finally, I went back to my room, read a book on Fieldwork (which just happened to be about fieldwork in folklore research and exactly ...
