Priya Hotel Jodhpur

... from afar, however, was still not enough to make Jodhpur a pleasant place. If not for its magnificent fort, which we visited in the afternoon, this place would have little to recommend it. In fact, on our walk towards the train station in the evening to find a place for dinner, the city reminded me of the post-Armageddon description that I used for Jaipur in my introduction to this blog. Tony went so far as to describe it ...

As I arrived in Jodhpur's hectic centre, it was evident that this city was a million miles from the laid back attitude I had grown accustomed to in Udaipur. I passed through a market that, since my arrival, has not stopped or slowed in pace; the competition between stall owners is fierce and each time I have ventured into the fray the desperate attempts to sell me something have come thick and fast. There seems to be an urgency about the city; with even ...

... of the rooms are filled with large, glass cases, filled with unrelated odds and ends. Or maybe they're related. It would be hard to tell. One large case, taking up half a wall, was filled with a large array of wooden objects, some artistic, some clearly household goods. Several were clearly quite new while others seemed, at least to my (admittedly ignorant of Indian art) eyes to be fairly ancient. The whole case was labelled, in hindi and ...

... so we could look around (cheapest is like $600 a night)! It has a great domed lobby. The Palace is a nice place to spend an afternoon and worth the visit. The temp in the north is much cooler than the south so it is actually pleasant to sit outside if you find a good spot. We went to Mehrangarh Fort one day and one night. You only have to walk a couple city blocks out of the town and the rest of the walk to the fort is chill, but uphill. This is ...

... up the mountain in a continuous ¨S¨ fashion - very windy and hilly and throw in a huge dose of Indian driving into that mix and the result is a not very pleasant experience. Rajiv and I were very relieved to arrive at our hotel in one piece! Mount Abu is quite different from the rest of Rajasthan - very green, rocky and mountainous. It is known for its Jain temples with its extraordinary marble carvings (no ...

... dollars canadian). I know I am probably paying WAY more than I should...but my Dad said that in India.. something is worth whatever your willing to pay and I was willing to pay 2000 for it, so it was worth it. At first I felt a little resentful at paying so much, but then I watched him take my camera apart piece by piece (and let me tell you, there are a lot of pieces). It is a little nerve wracking folks, to see your camera in a million ...

... as do I but I ride up ahead to avoid having to look at their pitiful expressions, although I know they are trying their best I decide to mope around for the rest of the day..... That evening, we ran into some camel drivers from the area....they let us use theier camp for the night, which means two things: no sleeping in a cart, on top of bags of camel food ,and flea ridden blankets.....and secondly it meant real food.....both of these things instantly boosted my ...

... us for a beer. They got one large bottle between them and hammered it back. They didn't speak much English but we realised that neither of them drink and one of them was saying his mother was going to slap him around when he got home. Had a bit of craic with them anyway and a bit of a nervy drive home with the music blaring out of the tuk tuk and the driver didn't bother to look at the road he was more ...

... I needed to read), and did a preliminary outline of my paper. I broke everything down into six or seven five-page sections-and then those down into five or six one-page subsections. I just needed to do the research for each subsection, write a one-page summary, and finish by connecting everything together with introductions and lead-ins. After having this basic structure down, I felt like I was on track and pretty good about the project.
