Leaving India... Pauls version


SIGNING OFF
Well it's that time, we are leaving India to go to our next stop. India has been an experience and a half, I'm glad i've been here. There have been some sights here that where mind blowing, such as the Taj and the Lotus temple. There have been the drawbacks mind...

Power shower? Heh you're lucky if there is water, let alone water that is hot. in the event you get hot water you then have to get used to bathing from a large bucket. Electricity goes all the time. And if you're watching tv and the electricity hasn't gone, don't get smug because the electricity at the tv station is about to go soon enough. As for people, when you find staring is an olympic sport for them here.

Despite all this and many more I am still glad I came. I met some nice people, tried a lot of new things and whitnesed an entirely new culture to my own. In short India is way behind anywhere else in the world as far as services, society and environment is concerned and is not a place to live but well worth a visit(if everywhere else is booked out that is).
