Palace Rd Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, 302006, 91-141-5100100
Decided to take a detour on my way to Mumbai and stopped in Jaipur, the capital city of the state of Rajasthan. I couldn't decide which city to go to in Rajasthan..Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and knew Jaisalmer was a bit out of the way for a weekend, so I stuck to my new found foreign travel plan, especially if traveling alone...go to the capital city of the state/country you are visiting if you can only get there for a weekend. It will have an airport and you won't spend your time traveling to ...
Jaipur, India bnbfsuUPDATE ON INTERNSHIP (PRAYAS) I'm being given a little more responsibility at work now, which is great, and I feel like I'm being utilized more. I wrote a quarterly report to one of Prayas' funding organizations on Friday and Saturday. And got a chance to go with one of the teachers for the Home-Based Services provided by Prayas on Saturday afternoon. This service is for parents with severely disabled children (since they cannot attend schools and need constant care and attention). Teachers m...
Jaipur, India dharshiniHello everyone, My apologies for not writing the last week ... It's been not too busy, but I didn't get the opportunity to go to the internet place as much as I'd preferred. I'll try a different style of writing this log, and give you a day by day brief run-through of my activities the last week. Last Friday - Nov 10th - one of the other trainees from PRAYAS - Mirte - and myself went to the Rajputana hotel to sell some products made by the children in the vocational class. We sold around 750R...
Jaipur, India dharshiniJaipur, our last stop before heading back to Delhi (and heading out!) is know as the Pink City, but really its buildings are painted with brick dust, so the effect is more earthy than the malibu shade I'd been hoping for. Jaipur's market is hopping- this city is known as a shopping Mecca. I didn't see much that tempted me in the narrow, crowded lanes, but I did watch a dentist at work on his designated bench in the middle of the shopping area. He pulled a woman's tooth (she didn't react in an...

... I was not listening to trash like that, I was listening to Indian men snoring. It sounded like chainsaws cutting through lawnmowers. Overall, the train sucked.<br><br>We arrived in Jaipur on time and jay was there to pick us up. I just wanted him to drive us to Ranthambhor so I could crash and go to sleep. But of course that wasn't going to happen. jay decides to stop in a field and ask the women if they would give ...
Jaipur, Rajasthan, India jdcabanelI arrived at the farm on the 13th November. i had a very long walk down a very long coutry road to get there but a very nice lady found me along the way and took me across the field and over very high stone walls to get there a bit quicker for which I will be eternally grateful and bemused, all of my pack and me over a wall like I was in the army and it was the Krypton Factor final round! Mr Binod the owner of the farm is like a far flung entity, a God that no-one has ...
Jaipur, Rajasthan, India twinsparkle... and was passing all of the other elephants. Once up in the city palace we walked around and noticed that they were doing renovation work (basically repainting all of the walls). I asked one of the guys if I could repaint a flower and he let me! Now I can say a little piece of the palace was helped by me. Walking around more, we found all of these smaller little passage ways within the walls. They led to little rooms, and ...
Jaipur, Rajasthan, India heatherandrew... v ulici 40 cisel vody a chudak nas ridic se nas vsechny snazil dopravit do hotelu a behem toho nam do auta dverma zacalo docela slusne zatekat.

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India aguas... tickets and fought through the scrum of people to get through the football style turnstyles and into the courtyard. First up was the..............can you guess.............Hall of Public Audience. The usual open column area but with a superb view over Amber and the surrounding hills with the snaking wall. We passed through the amazing tiled Ganesh gate (with a carved screen above for females to watch court) and entered the next courtyard and came across yet another ...
Jaipur, India skcollCome la "zoccola del chai", in India gli animali sembrano più gentili. E di animali, ce ne sono dappertutto. Per le strade ci sono le note vacche, ma anche maiali, scoiattoli, topi, cani, capre, scimmie. Sempre al lavoro davanti ad un carro, si vedono anche molti buoi, cavalli e cammelli. È inverosimile vedere la pacifica convivenza che hanno con gli uomini, una tolleranza inimmaginabile altrove. Gli elefanti, loro, sono solo nei posti ...
