Single White Girls Wanted @ The Kama Sutra Temples

Nadine caught the swine flu symptoms for a couple of days but we enjoyed our last bit of time in Varanasi lounging around the ghats, making conversation with spiritual types, saying our good-byes to our new friends and buying them gifts, sitting around with threads tied to our toes making macrame jewellery and doing a lulu hair wrap dreadlock extension workshop. We each learned to put a dreadlock extension in each other's hair then cut it out when it was finished. Dreadlocks are for hippies a...

Khajuraho, Kama Sutra Carvings!

Mo's Entry

Our first train trip in India! We found our selves to be tourist t.v. at the train station and entertained the people lying, sleeping and sitting on the train platform by just standing with our backpacks. We linked up with an Australian couple and ended up doing the next leg of the journey with them.

We decided to make a stop in Khajuraho to see the carved 'Kama Sutra' temples created in medieval Hindu times. Wow! I think one temple had over 800 carvings on it alone....

Entre templos y acoso

Y cogi el primer tren nocturno en la India, con un retraso de tres horas que por lo visto es bastante habitual. El viaje fue muy bien y tranquilo y al dia siguiente, tras un viaje en autobus de 4 horitas, llegue a la famosa ciudad de los templos de la dinastia Chandela, y muy muy famosos en India y para los turistas. Y eso se nota, ya que, al parecer, es la ciudad donde los extranjeros reciben el mayor acoso de la gente. Todo el mundo te ficha y todos te rodean, niños especialmente, que prete...

Khajuraho

Ready, set, go. That was the theme for our three days in Khajuraho. From the moment we stepped off the plane, until the moment we boarded the bus for our next destination, Tony and I had to get our game faces on. We had finally reached a place that had all the in-your-face mayhem promised in the guidebooks of India: beggars, con-men, harassing  men, and cat-callers. And it all revolved around the "shoot," the main road in town with the majority of the hotels, Jain Temple Road. If I never hear...

We made it safely to our hotel , Hotel Harmony. It was clean as a whistle and had a great cook. The food was freshly prepared. We had a very enjoyable stay ...

Temples, tombs and opulence!

... will get down from the daybed to sit on the floor and cover her face, away from the uncle or grandfather. When I asked why children didn't have to do the same, I was told it didn't apply to children. Women crouch outside for the toilet, taking care to keep their saris touching the ground. They will dive into monsoon drains or anywhere where they can remain reasonably discreet, altho' their methods for cleansing afterwards are something I dare not ask! Many women ...

... approaching from behind, thereby allowing them to occupy their favorite lane position-they straddle the two lanes. The drivers look to be fearless young men, like the cowboys of the road. The cab of the truck sits very high and the windows are painted and otherwise decorated with the tastes of the drivers. The trucks are generally overloaded and we have seen several alongside the road with broken a broken axle. Other common ...

Burning ghats and sexy temples

... under the table. I met a girl who said she wasn't even allowed to put the beer on the tabletop! This also means that there are very few bars, and not that I've been to one, but I've heard that there are only dudes at the bars since it would not be appropriate for an Indian woman to be at a bar. There are many double standards for the women here, they can't stay out late or get drunk without being labeled a slut and they definitely can't smoke and go to bars. The next morning ...
