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 pretenden hacerte creer que no quieren nada, solo practicar el ingles (o incluso el español) y lo que quieren es llevarte a una tienda.
Sin embargo, me encontre muy agusto alli, paseando sola, tranquila, entre maravillosos templos y gente sonriente y amable en el casco antiguo, viendo la vida rural y las preciosas casas pintadas de colores. Y si, en los relieves de los templos hay mucho kamasutra... pero son de los mas interesantes. A pesar del acoso, esta ciudad merece una vista.

And I took the first train in India, night one. It was 3 hours delayed but apparently that is the normal thing. The trip was nice and quiet and the following day, after a 4 hour bus ride, I arrived to the famous city of Chandela temples, very touristic place by the way.
And that is obvious because it is the town where foreigners are the most hassled by locals. Everybody knows you and souround you, specially children who makes you thinks that they want nothing but speak and practice a foreign language but then they try to take you to a shop...
But I was however quite confortable and happy there walking on my own, calmly, seeing beautiful temples and smaily and nice people in the old town, watching the rural life and the picturesque colored houses. And yes, on the temples relieves there are alot of kamasutra scenes... but very interesting!! Despite all the annoyance of the local people, this town really worth a visit.
