To fully appreciate it in its entirety one must take the plunge &amp;amp; make the visit themselves. Between the 2 of us having done fairly well in recent years at covering the globe we found India to be unlike anywhere else on our fascinating planet. A crazy blend of love &amp;amp; hate, old &amp;amp; new, rich &amp;amp; poor, sun &amp;amp; rain which all contrive to stimulate, frustrate, excite &amp;amp; confuse albeit at the same time!! And in our 3 months there we still only managed to see a fraction of this wonderful place, from the mayhem of Mumbai to the deserts of Rajasthan.....the fresh mountain air of McLeod Ganj &amp;amp; audiences with the Dalai Lama to the mind boggling events of Varanassi......35 hour train rides along the East coast &amp;amp; to the hippiness of the Goan beaches!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Then of course you hav&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SoMGtWuM1YI/AAAAAAAAADI/WysfbjNCZIc/s1600-h/Fotos+India+451.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369142557019002242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 279px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SoMGtWuM1YI/AAAAAAAAADI/WysfbjNCZIc/s320/Fotos+India+451.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;e &lt;em&gt;Nepal&lt;/em&gt;, just across the Northern border &amp;amp; into the Himalayas, where the madness of its neighbours disappears immediately upon entry. A land of smiling faces, happy people, jaw dropping scenery, unsurpassed beauty &amp;amp; endless festivals.....from the tranquility at the lakeside town of Pokhara......to the vibrant capital Kathmandu......to the mesmorising towns of the Kathmandu valley.

Arriving at night we even splashed out on a £15 a night hotel.....A/C, TV, hot water &amp;amp; terrace.....true package tour style......aaarrrghh it was painful......until my head hit the pillow, which culminated in a poetic night with the dreamweavers!!!! (although it is not like I hadn't sle&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiP_IHnYSI/AAAAAAAAAB8/A1vXlZFFW8Y/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+139.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276125278138491170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 311px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiP_IHnYSI/AAAAAAAAAB8/A1vXlZFFW8Y/s320/kumily,kochi+y+goa+139.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;pt well prior to this occasion).

So finally we got to the beach, &amp;amp; a pretty good one it was......a mesmerising, palm tree surrounded, crescent of golden sand, accompanied by clean crisp luke warm waters which were attacked at the soonest moment. All was good, Martina &amp;amp; I overly content &amp;amp; not even the young souvenir sellers could get to us, or the remainder of the not too many tourists. So 3 days flew past as we took our place on the beach with the cows, fruit sellers, armed police, &amp;amp; the odd, to be expected, letchy local.  However there must have been more to Goa than a beach &amp;amp; surely it couldn't all be so pleasant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Never ones to spend too long in a destination, we left the holiday makers a&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiOCKlFZrI/AAAAAAAAABk/bL47B4TYnj4/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+187.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276123131315316402" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 308px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiOCKlFZrI/AAAAAAAAABk/bL47B4TYnj4/s320/kumily,kochi+y+goa+187.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;nd moved North to Panjim &amp;amp; Old Goa......where did all the people go!! Panjim has to be without doubt the quietest town in India &amp;amp; it was a pleasure to wander the streets amongst the pastel shaded buildings of Mediterranean influence. As with the most of Southern India we were treated to an array of fascinating churches &amp;amp; cathedrals, particularly in Old Goa, however viewing was cut short as we had a Goan Party Cruise awaiting us, with live music, folk dancing &amp;amp; singing.....hahaha......4 kids doing the oki koki in Goan dress &amp;amp; a DJ was not quite what we bargained for, although entertaining it was &amp;amp; allowed for Martina &amp;amp; I to demonstrate our Bhangra dancing skills, much to the delight of the adoring Indian audience!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Fearing we'd be asked to join the on-board team for future events, the following morning we made tracks back to the beach......next up &lt;em&gt;Anjuna&lt;/em&gt;!! The home of the famous flee market, trance parties &amp;amp; middle aged Italian &amp;amp; Russians in thongs.....aaarrggghh too many men in thongs....am still traumatised!!! We found refuge in a small guesthouse, in which we could hear the sounds of the ocean from our window......marvellous, &amp;amp; remained at the sane end of the beach. Quiet &amp;amp; peaceful again, however the beach was not as pleasant as Palolem &amp;amp; Martina was once almost swept away by the nasty undercurrents of the ocean.  Fortunately I was on hand to enforce full Baywatch procedures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The days were now disappearing &amp;amp; seeing as our train out was further North we chose to spend the last few days in &lt;em&gt;Arambol&lt;/em&gt;, the first beach to which the hippies of the 60s era landed. To this day the hippy vibe can still be felt with its laid back style &amp;amp; flower power so far beating off the property developers.  But cant be long before Benidorm syndrome takes over!! It was here that we were to witness one of the most bizarre ev&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiRBtibBbI/AAAAAAAAACE/-zdBvQ7tg18/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+254.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276126422054405554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiRBtibBbI/AAAAAAAAACE/-zdBvQ7tg18/s320/kumily,kochi+y+goa+254.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ents of the trip, &amp;amp; there had been a few!! Having spent a wonderful day lazing on the beach, watching the world &amp;amp; cows go by, enjoying the odd beer &amp;amp; whatever hippy products may or may not have been available, the unbelievable was to happen. The 2 of us had pondered over how the beaches appeared relatively clean, with Palolem being immaculate, however as we sat enjoying a beer in the cool evening air a young gentleman came out from a beachside cafe, proceeded to dig a 3 foot hole in the sand, empty the full contents of his trash into the hole &amp;amp; then refill with sand......an amazing disregard to the environment &amp;amp; all the poor little fish of the sea!!!! Dumbstruck with confusion the only plausible answer to this we could find was..."hey this is India, &amp;amp; thats just how it is."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Beside this strange incident &lt;em&gt;Arambol&lt;/em&gt; proved to be a fine end to our beachtime&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiR1lkQIAI/AAAAAAAAACM/CrYMveCl4HE/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+284.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276127313267793922" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 178px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 105px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STiR1lkQIAI/AAAAAAAAACM/CrYMveCl4HE/s200/kumily,kochi+y+goa+284.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but it was now time to board the Indian rail network for the final leg &amp;amp; trundle 12 hours North to Mumbai &amp;amp; back to the start again!!!

Martina &amp;amp; I were slightly concerned at the ease of travelling by bus here, as we had the luxury of 2 seats to ourselves and a placid driver who calmly sped his way through the hilly tracks to our destination.  For sure there were no complaints!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kumily&lt;/em&gt; is home to &lt;em&gt;Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary&lt;/em&gt;, and so with our bodies recharged we decided to set out for some tiger &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRbTXlBitI/AAAAAAAAAAs/Nyzh9sycHHI/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+002.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274941451862641362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 238px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 285px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRbTXlBitI/AAAAAAAAAAs/Nyzh9sycHHI/s320/kumily,kochi+y+goa+002.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;spotting. Arising at 6am we made the 4km walk from town to the park which we were told would be a fine opportunty to view wildlife. Tigers maybe not as we'd have been in for some trouble. Unfortunately any chance of animal viewing was crushed by the constant flow of traffic pounding into the park with horns honking &amp;amp; bhangra pop blaring at unappealling decibels. Keeping our spirits high we joined a farcical queue for the boat cruise and fought our way in to purchasing tickets. However, the sum total of animals on show was zero......could maybe learn a thing or two on game park etiquette from our African cousins!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The day being &lt;em&gt;Mr Gandhi's birthday&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; an alcohol free day across the nation we decided to celebrate by watching the sunset from the fine balcony of our homestay.....accompanied by the odd Kingfisher picked up on the sly from a restaurant ever eager to sell to tourists.....good work that man!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to move on again &amp;amp; a standard 6 hour bus ride brought us to the West coastal town of&lt;em&gt; Fort Cochin (Kochi)......&lt;/em&gt;the home of fine fresh fish, crazy Kathakali dances &amp;amp; fascinating disco churches!!!! Was also from Kochi that we ventured out into Keralan backwaters, a number of inland lakes connected by a network of canals. Aboard our man powered house boat we cruised leisurely along, taking in the tranquility, which we so often had to search long &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRe30FU5nI/AAAAAAAAABE/9L1sCLPVYGE/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+044.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274945376524494450" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRe30FU5nI/AAAAAAAAABE/9L1sCLPVYGE/s320/kumily,kochi+y+goa+044.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;amp; hard for in the North, observing the daily goings on of its inhabitants. Back in &lt;em&gt;Kochi&lt;/em&gt; we were to stumble across a fine choice of fresh fish, brought to shore through the use of ancient looking &lt;em&gt;Chinese fishing nets&lt;/em&gt;, cooked to our liking at a small but delightful shack by the side of the street.......no need for knives, forks, plates.....just a bowl of fine ocean fodder &amp;amp; our able fingers...naturally we were to return day after day!! What else of Kochi? Of course, the disco churches, with the finest, the &lt;em&gt;Santa Cruz Basilica, &lt;/em&gt;located in the centre of the town and yet another religious site with a Disney facelift.  This is &lt;em&gt;Kerala, "Gods Own Country"&lt;/em&gt; afterall, so why not show it in style!!!! And then the &lt;em&gt;Kathakali, &lt;/em&gt;an extraordinary blend of song, dance, poetry, drama, make-up application &amp;amp; traditional ritual......all of which combines to provide a mesmerising experience.....have a look should you ever get the chance!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the times are so relaxing &amp;amp; events run so smoothly it is sometim&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRfduX7qZI/AAAAAAAAABM/82R2roXE36A/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274946027826948498" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 137px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRfduX7qZI/AAAAAAAAABM/82R2roXE36A/s200/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;es h&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/STRcVtakZgI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9WFTl0yf9jg/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;arder to put it into words.....or am I lazy....or have I just forgotten.....writers block perhaps.....am I even a writer???....think I need a holiday!!

Having a train the following morning we needed to find refuge for 1 night and the only available option resembled more a truckers "pay by the hour" nesting shack than any sort of hostel/hotel. For 1 night surely we'd survive, which we did, although it didn't get much better as we searched for a respectable eatery we dodged rats the size of cats, cockroaches looking like they had eaten the rats, &amp;amp; waiters looking like cockroaches.....beautiful!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Needless to say we made it through the night &amp;amp; began the 1st of many epic train rides to take place over the coming month. 23 hours &amp;amp; 850km to Kolkata where we were greeted by the usual barage of questions from the ever curious natives.....these of which we have grown well accustomed to by now. We had heard some mixed reports of the former capital....extreme poverty alongside the usual difficulties associated here. However Martina and I were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness, apparent organisation of roads and obeying to traffic rules, and general ease of the city. And all this taking place amongst the busiest of cities where not an inch of space is wasted or goes unutilised. With a feast of fascinating architecture of British India around the &lt;em&gt;BBD Bagh&lt;/em&gt; area and &lt;em&gt;Victoria Memorial,&lt;/em&gt; a monument that would rival the Taj Mahal had it been built to celebrate an Indian, and areas reminiscent of "the land that time forgot" in &lt;em&gt;Barbarbazaar &amp;amp; Chinatown, &lt;/em&gt;Kolkata has an interesting contrast of struggle &amp;amp; splendour. Chinatowns are hectic &amp;amp; fast paced the world over, however, wandering the markets &amp;amp; chaotic alleys here made us feel like a grain of pliau rice being ferried around by an army of busy ants!!  The decision was taken to depart after only 3 days, as after enjoying the city so much we did not wish to risk the possibility of something, or someone, ruining our experience.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;On to the train again.....this time a 35 hour.....1600km journey along the East coast to Chennai. How we wondered would time pass without too much boredom??? Another pleasant surprise as the train became &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SRc2NQJqyCI/AAAAAAAAAAc/fTawjprg_Uo/s1600-h/Nepal+301.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266737890534803490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 221px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SRc2NQJqyCI/AAAAAAAAAAc/fTawjprg_Uo/s320/Nepal+301.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;immersed with an array of beggars.....some nice, some annoying, some entertaining &amp;amp; others just disturbing. We had &lt;em&gt;Sari clad singing transvestites, blind men playing accordians, men with no legs sweeping &amp;amp; cleaning the carriages, all kinds of diseased (non contagious) &amp;amp; malfunctioned bodies, harmonica players with no arms (maybe this I made up???), fruit sellers, nut sellers, chai sellers, paperboys, plagiarised book sellers, plus the usual amount of train riding nutcases!! &lt;/em&gt;The entertainment was all free of charge and kept us sane, if at all possible, until finally we reached our destination.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;With just 1 day in Chennai and after longing to feel sand between our toes we headed straight for &lt;em&gt;Marina Beach&lt;/em&gt;. How different beachlife is in this crazy country, with women swimming fully clothed in their Saris, hoards of men playing endless games of cricket, young girls perfroming death defying tightrope acts, plus the usual Indian street cuisine.  However, with trash sprawled as far as the eye can see it is difficult to understand the lack of respect for such a natural beauty as the beach &amp;amp; ocean are. Throw it in the bins for f$%* sake!!!! The rest of Chennai, or what we saw, is more traditional and a far cry from its larger counterparts and a wander through the market streets gives an enjoyable glimpse of village life within a city.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The last leg of this entry took us to Madurai, once again by train, only 9 h&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SRc3TIxL3GI/AAAAAAAAAAk/X1YEEaxVmDQ/s1600-h/Nepal+331.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266739091143908450" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 308px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 207px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SRc3TIxL3GI/AAAAAAAAAAk/X1YEEaxVmDQ/s320/Nepal+331.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ours &amp;amp; in the with the comfort of a reclining chair &amp;amp; A/C.....travelling in style now!!! Madurai is a small town with the focal point being the huge &lt;em&gt;Sri Meenakshi Temple,&lt;/em&gt; a Dravidan architectural masterpiece, covering no less than 6 hectares of land. Inside was somewhat like a Disneyesque fair ground, with an array of souvenir shops, fairy lights depicting Gods &amp;amp; elephants happy to take money from the crowds of pilgrims lining up to make offerings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So much of what we have been used to and alot of new ever surprising events.

But for the viewers pleasure I'll have a go at recalling the events. Since I last left you I believe we were in Kathmandu and about to commence our voyage around the valley, and I've just had a sneaky look at the photos Martina has uploaded and we appear to have come along way since Nepal, but regardless I shall give it a go.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Have not a clue where now to start so will have a guess at Bhaktapur, 1 of the 3 royal cities of Nepal, alongsaide Patan and Kathmandu. The city of culture, myself &amp;amp; Martina were blown away by the architecture, landscape, local cuisine and fascinating attitude of the local people. Such a joy to wander the streets &amp;amp; be greeted by the welcoming smiles &amp;amp; innocent laughs. It was here that I decided to test my travel insurance limits for the first time, by riding atop a local bus, to &lt;em&gt;Changu Narayan&lt;/em&gt;, alongside the goats, sacks of rice and a few locals. This proved most entertaining, especially having to dodge the overhead power cables, breathing in the fresh country air and the knowledge that Martina was squashed up inside in a ball of sweat!! &lt;em&gt;Bhaktapur&lt;/em&gt; is one beautiful little town and power cuts weeks could easily be passed by here just watching the world go by.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;From Bhaktapur we then made our way up to Nagarkot, 2175m above sea level, a town said to offer unrivalled views out beyond the Kathmandu valley bowl. What we did miss though was that these views were expected from October onwards. At this time of year there is not a lot else to do in Nagarkot, so we sat, feasting on the delights of yak cheese sandwiches, in the hope that the rain would clear for a just a few minutes sat! Our patience was to pay off as one morning we were vigarously awoke at the crack of dawn to be greeted with the stunning sight of sunrise and the fascinating view of the snow capped Himalayas.....well worth the wait!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not ones to indulge in full mountain treks we decided to take our own hike 25km from Nagarkot to &lt;em&gt;Bodnath&lt;/em&gt;, via the beautiful small villages of &lt;em&gt;Sankhu&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Bramhakkel&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Mulpani&lt;/em&gt;. Through this route we were met with some of the most breathtaking scenery and happy smiles to ever lay our eyes upon, making the walk more pleasant than we could have imagined. However we are still monsoon season and the walk was interrupted just outside of Mulpani forcing us to hop on a bus for the final few kilometres.....this was not met with too much disappointment. Nepal just keeps on amazing us and Bodnath was to be no different. A small town housing Nepal's largest populaion of Tibetan exiles and incredible architecture built around the incredible &lt;em&gt;Bodnath Stupa&lt;/em&gt;, which is best visited late of an afternoon to witness the Tibetan and Bhuddist community going about their daily rituals. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past week has possibly been the most peaceful, relaxing and jaw dropping since our arrival on this continent. Now, however it is time to return to the organised chaos of Kathmandu and then on, once more, to Pokhara.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Namaste.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-5148678064623489124?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/5148678064623489124/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=5148678064623489124' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/5148678064623489124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/5148678064623489124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/11/walking-kathmandu-valley.html' title='Walking the Kathmandu Valley!!'/><author><name>Bradley O'Neill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424771021967613456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SULPNCivViI/AAAAAAAAACY/nVsMyzKdm3U/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-8761680522939678980</id><published>2008-10-27T01:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T02:41:03.055-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Emprendiendo la vuelta....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SQWLtvDXqDI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/4WJOTBkGlSs/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+315.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261765357493266482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SQWLtvDXqDI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/4WJOTBkGlSs/s320/kumily,kochi+y+goa+315.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Y asi se dan las cosas que despues de 4 meses me encuentro nuevamente en "tierra firme", o mas bien que flota! Una vez mas en Inglaterra y a una semana de volver a Buenos Aires. Parece mentira que el tiempo haya pasado tan rapido y de repente me encuentre amaneciendo en Mumbai y durmiendo en Bishops Cleeve, el mundo es cada vez mas chico y parece que se encogiera por minuto.                                &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La India me desafio en mas aspectos de los que habia pensado posibles. Despues de haber viajado por Africa pense que podria facilmente adaptarme a un pais que es mas viajado y mas "desarrollado" en terminos turisticos por la inmensa cantidad de visitantes que lo recorren. Sin dudas, India fue una especie bautismo de fuego, que por momentos me hacia cuestionar esta incesante necesidad de viajar. Una realidad tan pero tan distinta a cualquier otra que pude vivir, una complejidad en la diversidad de credos y costumbres que habitan su suelo, un obstaculo en cada esquina....pero tambien una recompensa en cada rincon.                                    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Apenas llevo 3 dias de vuelta en el "primer mundo" y ya puedo ver en retrospectiva parte de lo que la India me dejo. A la distancia, todas aquellas experiencias que en su momento parecian incomprensibles, agobiantes cuasi claustrofobicas, ahora las puedo ver bajo otra luz. Todos esos intensos momentos en que rodeados de por lo menos 20 personas interrogandonos acerca de los mas diversos temas, "A que pais pertenecen?", "Porque no estan casados?", "Cuanto ganan por anio?", ahora son testimonio de la incansable curiosidad de los indios y de su sincero interes por aprender de quienes los visitan. Las innumerables invitaciones a tomar un "chai" (te) o a cenar en sus casas que en su momento nos hacian sentir poco menos importantes que Brad y Angelina, ahora son muestras de su hospitalidad y calidez. La India y su gente son capaces de inundarte de carinio en escala tsunami, a la distancia lo puedo ver.                                                                               &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recorrimos por 4 meses India y Nepal. Visitamos 13 estados , 35 ciudades/pueblos, dormimos en 37 hoteles de la mas variada naturaleza, tomamos 13 trenes, 33 buses, 1 moto, 2 camellos, 6 metros, 5 barcos, incontables rickshaws y un ridiculo numero de kilometros caminados que no me animo a nisiquiera intentar contar. Recorrimos el perimetro entero de la India empezando y terminando en Mumbai. Pasando un mes en Nepal, un pais unico por su encanto y su gente.           &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recorrer la India de punta a punta en 3 meses nos dio una posibilidad unica de ver las enormes diferencias entre el Norte y el Sur, entre el Este y el Oeste, entre las grandes ciudades y los pueblos rurales, entre el rico y el pobre, el hindu y musulman. Un pais enorme en su extension, enorme en su riqueza cultural, historica y religiosa. Un pais de contradicciones constantes y de sorpresas en cada esquina. Un pais que nos pone a prueba a cada paso que damos, ya sea por las piras funerarias en Varanassi o por la sonrisa de un chico que te desarma en la calle. Un pais tan diferente a cualquier otro, que muchas veces me parecio mentira que vivieramos todos en el mismo planeta. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Y asi es que este viaje termina, o por lo menos este capitulo. Y una vez mas me quedo con esta contradictoria sensacion, por un lado la enormidad del mundo y por el otro nosotros, quienes lo habitamos, tan distintos en tantos aspectos pero tan iguales en escencia. Nuestras alegrias, nuestros sufrimientos, las preguntas que nos hacemos y las respuestas que les encontramos. Parece que el mundo por mas enorme que parezca no es mas que un punto en el universo y nosotros estamos todos mas cerca de lo que pensamos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Gracias a todos los que nos siguieron! y a por ello que no es tan dificil como parece....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Namaste&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-8761680522939678980?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/8761680522939678980/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=8761680522939678980' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/8761680522939678980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/8761680522939678980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/10/emprendiendo-la-vuelta.html' title='Emprendiendo la vuelta....'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SQWLtvDXqDI/AAAAAAAAA5Q/4WJOTBkGlSs/s72-c/kumily,kochi+y+goa+315.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-8351760127277395018</id><published>2008-10-25T03:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-25T04:04:30.161-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Kerala's Backwater</title><content type='html'>La experiencia de Kerala fue increible, viajamos en unos barcos hechos de bamboo y yute que nos llevaron por los canales de Kerala donde  aldeas enteras viven desparramadas en distintas islas manteniendo formas tradicionales de subsistencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SQL7jAflGFI/AAAAAAAAA5E/qgzkt1gvPlg/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+078.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261043893568608338" style="DISPLAY: block;

Palolem, la playa mas al sur nos parecio la mas linda, con agua limpia, palmeras, un par de restaurantes y un ambiente muy relajado. Nos dimos el gusto y nos quedamos en un hotel lindo con balcon y aire acondicionado un lujo! Seguimos camino al norte, y paramos dos noches en Panjim que es la parte vieja de Goa, donde vimos de primera mano la influencia portuguesa en la arquitectura y en el ritmo de la gente. Despues de dos dias sin playa seguimos camino a Anjuna, la playa mas famosa de Goa, y muy famosa por sus fiestas, pero no habia mucha accion cuando estuvimos, todavia era muy temprano en la temporada. Terminamos nuestro paso por Goa en Arambol, el ultimo lugar donde se escondio la generacion del 60 y flower power en Goa.

Aca van algunas fotos de Kumily y Kochi en el estado de Kerala. Llegar al sur de la India fue descubrir un nuevo pais. Con un ritmo de vida mucho mas tranquilo, con menor concentracion de gente y menos acoso. Dentro de la India la mayoria cristiana esta en el sur, y por eso al estado de Kerala se le dice "God's Country", claro esta que la estetica de las Iglesias no escapo al toque original de la India, con lo cual en casi cada esquina podiamos ver capillas e Iglesias iluminadas integras con luces de navidad titilantes, conviritiendolas en lo que nosotros llamamos las "disco church"! Aca van algunas imagenes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SQH_3P_au9I/AAAAAAAAAzs/gWzLiRyhip8/s1600-h/kumily,kochi+y+goa+001.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260767164395862994" style="DISPLAY: block;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hola!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Volver a la India despues de la paz de Nepal creimos que iba a ser un shock aun mayor que el que tuvimos al llegar de UK. Muy por el contrario, nos encontramos recorriendo terreno desconocido. Desde Kolkata y hacia el sur pareciamos estar en un pais distinto. Con un ritmo de vida un poco mas tranquilo, sin escupir tanto paan en las calles (el tabaco que consumen todos los hombres por esta latitudes). Tuvimos discusiones politicas en esquinas esperando cruzar la calle, en calles que por primera vez tenian semaforos! Cuanto mas al sur nos encontrabamos mas aumentaba nuestra sorpresa. Asi recorrimos Kolkata, Chennai, donde por primera vez en el viaje vimos el mar ( y a las mujeres baniandose en el con sari!) y por ultimo Madurai donde visitamos uno de sus templos mas sagrados y nos deleitamos con la Arquitectura Dravidiana, con muchos colores y sin deficit de imagenes eroticas! y ni hablar del Templo en si, con luces de colores y fuegos artificiales y hasta un Ganesh in the flesh dentro del templo! Y esto era solo el principio de lo que el sur nos tenia preparado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-614547820473137778?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/614547820473137778/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=614547820473137778' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/614547820473137778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/614547820473137778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/10/kolkata-chennai-y-madurai.html' title='Kolkata, Chennai y Madurai'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SPH_x4FhN-I/AAAAAAAAAxM/WREzWWNjCjs/s72-c/Martina+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-1156903225692842069</id><published>2008-10-06T04:19:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T07:21:10.547-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mas fotos de Nepal</title><content type='html'>Aca van mas fotos de Nepal!!! Nuestra estadia en ese pequenio pais fue un oasis y nos dio un respiro de la locura que es la India. Recorrimos el valle de Kathmandu a pie en toda su extension, pasando por pueblos super chiquitos donde en todos sin excepcion fuimos recibidos con sonrisas. Ademas de la arquitectura de sus ciudades, que parecen salidas de un cuento que se quedo en la historia, ademas de los monasterios y stupas budistas que lo llenan a uno de paz, Nepal se lleva el premio por su gente, por su sincera amabilidad y ganas de ayudar, porque nos dejan entrar en sus vidas y ver como viven, porque nos llenaron de sonrisas en el mes que tuvimos la suerte de compartir con ellos.

Anyway, here we go, with what I can recall at least!!&lt;br /&gt;Following the gruelling journey from Varanassi to Nepal we made our way across the ramshackle border at Sunali which was about as secure as ????. First stop in the new fresh country was the lakeside town of Pokhara, offering beautiful views of the Annapurna moutain range. Imagine a perfect snow capped mountain reflected in a crystal clear lake, surrounded by the beauty of a Nepali village, well we sure nothing of the sort as grey cloud submerged the town and with it came 4 days of continuous monsoonal rain, not all day mind, just from 6pm through to 2pm the following day. Although not able to appreciate its talents Pokhara's restaurants provided us with the opportunity to endulge in some well earned meat, and what fine steak we found, tender, juicy and as red as you like.  Not just fit for a King but also for my critical Argentine travelling companion. Steak aside the rain proved a little frustrating so we moved our able bodies on to Kathmandu.&lt;br /&gt;So Kathmandu, a strange mix of backpacker "Bangkok" paradise, modern era concrete jungle &amp;amp; fascinating backstreets revealing traditional architectural splendour. If its good enough for Cat Stevens to write a song about then for sure its good enough for Martina and I. As always, and as is best here, we took to the streets by foot, passing an abundance of shrines, temples, markets and courtyards, all providing a brilliant insight into the traditional Nepali way of life.&lt;br /&gt;Durbar Square is the heart and cities main focal point from where the Kings once ruled, and hours can be spent marvelling at the pre.C17th buildings, watching the world go by perched upon the terraced platform of a temple and engaging in conversations with locals. Living close by is the young Kumari Devi.  She is a living goddess, that is until she gets her first period, when her reign is ended and another girl chosen according to 32 strict physical requirements. When such reign is ended the Kumari is returned to normal mortal status, paid off with a handsome dowry and left to carry on with her life as anyone else, simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;Paul Gascoigne once said of the Great Wall of China, "if you've seen one wall then you've seen them all", and I was starting to develop the same feeling about temples until stumbling upon Swayambhunath, 3km West of Kathmandu. The temple is a ginormous structure atop a hill reached via an almost vertical incline of steps and dodging the numerous playful monkeys on the way up. Guess it has to be seen to be appreciated fully, but with beer &amp;amp; whisky guzzling men going about their rituals and celebrating yet another festival I began to rekindle my liking for these places of worship.&lt;br /&gt;It seemed we were starting to develop a strong liking for the country, its people and its beer (which the locals are quite partial to) which far surpasses that of its Southerly neighbours. Could there be a link between its laid back way of life and lack of hassle to that of eating cow and consuming fine alcoholic beverages.....I wonder if this might be true??&lt;br /&gt;Just across the Bagmati River is the town of Patan (formerly Laliput "City of Beauty") with its own Durbar Square displaying some of the finest architectural structures &amp;amp; its back streets a fine insight into Newari life. How pleasant for locals to refrain from hassling foreigners as if they are aliens dropping from the sky and allowing us to enjoy their town in a stress free manner. Our spell here was also the time of the Teej Festival - Womens Festival - where wives &amp;amp; girlfriends dressed all in red, fast from sunrise to sunset, make offerings to their gods &amp;amp; sing &amp;amp; dance the day away.  This, it is claimed, will bring a good life and prosperity to their respective better halves. I managed to get Martina a little dancing part in this festival, much to the delight of the local boys. Unfortunately though, as the festival as only for women, I was to be excluded this time around and my English two step shuffle to be kept hidden in the locker for another time.&lt;br /&gt;Time then to explore some smaller towns around the Kathmandu Valley. All we hoped was to find our way back, either by foot or riding on the roof of a local bus, with goats as fellow passengers.&lt;br /&gt;The rest is to follow soon.......X.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-8248906775938839887?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/8248906775938839887/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=8248906775938839887' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/8248906775938839887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/8248906775938839887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/09/nepal-part-1.html' title='Nepal Part 1'/><author><name>Bradley O'Neill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424771021967613456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SULPNCivViI/AAAAAAAAACY/nVsMyzKdm3U/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-2430958671058086000</id><published>2008-08-27T05:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T09:08:51.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'>mas fotos de delhi...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SLZsr0LISZI/AAAAAAAAAlA/-UccdwU-8ak/s1600-h/martina+fotos+008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239494716487649682" style="DISPLAY: block;

More of that to come, but first a brief run down of the Capital city, New Dehli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In my eyes Dehli has to be the most smelly, seedy, sweat soaked (monsoon influenced) &amp;amp; rat infested capital I have ever visited, but naturally it still has its little delights. Our residence was spitting distance from the mayhem of New Dehli train station in the Paharganj Main Bazaar area, reminiscent of Bangkoks Khao San Road, with an ever busy buzz of backpackers &amp;amp; locals making their way to &amp;amp; from the many hotels, craft shops &amp;amp; bars on offer. As ever we made our way around on foot, which at times was a touch on the dirty side with the monsoon in full swing. The shortish walk to Old Dehli brought us down the death alley of Asaf Ali Road where we were greeted by numerous crack heads, smack heads &amp;amp; space cadets alike.....&amp;amp; Mumbai was supposed to be the challenging city. Nevertheless we made it to our first port of call, Red Fort constructed by Shah Jahan but rather disturbingly is very much neglected &amp;amp; a poor mans Taj Mahal. Next stop Dehl'is Jama Masjid mosque which houses up to 25,000 people, but unable to disguise our pale skin at prayer time we were soon ushered out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The way to Connought Place (Circus), Central Park &amp;amp; Central Dehli was a pleasant surprise as we tackled Dehli's new &amp;amp; deluxe space age Metro system &amp;amp; sniggered at the Indians affraid to travel on the escalators. Central Dehli &amp;amp; the Diplomatic area was somewhat heavenly with lush green grass filling the unpopulated parks &amp;amp; broad pathways on the way up to India Gate. Our final stop was the Gandhi Smriti where one can retrace the great mans final steps &amp;amp; marvel at his life in a fine array of short stories &amp;amp; pictures. However &amp;amp; with what has started to become the norm in India, they still manage to make a mockary of such greatness. On the upper floor of the museum we found a multimedia timeline of Gandhi's life which at times felt more like a Charlie &amp;amp; the Chocolate Factory amusement park cum school science exhibition, which was perhaps not what the great man would have expected.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Five days later full of dirty &amp;amp; grim we headed on towards Varanassi, with one day planned in&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SLVHET_DYkI/AAAAAAAAAkY/ZWD5NepLYfs/s1600-h/martina+fotos+017.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239171880925225538" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SLVHET_DYkI/AAAAAAAAAkY/ZWD5NepLYfs/s320/martina+fotos+017.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Allahabad, the city where the Yamuna &amp;amp; Ganges holy rivers are said to meet. However as we stepped out from the train station we found all roads to be flooded knee deep &amp;amp; with Noah &amp;amp; Moses not to be found, best to get back on the train. The only problem here was that all remaining trains were fully booked so once more we rode on the ever reliable government bus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Expecting road blocks &amp;amp; flooded streets we were but maybe not the surreal event that was about to unfold. About 30 minutes into the journey the bus made one of its usual stops &amp;amp; in came a quite poor looking, most likely slum dwelling, family of five, one of whom was craddling a semi conscious girl in her early 20s. As they took refuge on the back seat there were a few confusing looks from others &amp;amp; ourselves, but its India after all so anything goes. We can only presume the family had not enough money for medical expense so were heading to Varanassi in hope of the alledged cleansing/healing powers of the Ganges River. An hour or so later &amp;amp; with all carrying on seemingly well one of the women broke out into fits of uncontrollable crying &amp;amp; wailing.....the young girl had passed away only a seat behind. Being the compassionate people they are, an Indian passenger then requested she be quiet as to not disturb the others. This was greeted with more crying, now from all members of the family &amp;amp; a Hindi mourning prayer/song......extremely sad but a little too bizarre for us. Not giving in the passenger then summoned the conductor, who had been oblivious to present the situation, &amp;amp; without reason the driver stopped the bus, the family were kicked out (without a fight or word in return) &amp;amp; abandoned in the middle of nowhere &amp;amp; miles from home.....but they were ever so nice as to return their fares in full......heartbreaking stuff. What was hardest to take.....not that someone dying in front of your eyes is easy.....was how not a single other passenger (all Indian of course) made any kind of apologetic gesture or sign of compassion towards the family. Were they as shocked as us or do they see it every day? Anyhow all seemed to be forgotten as we carried on to Varanassi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SLVJRSrrYCI/AAAAAAAAAkg/a-CI7pOxepE/s1600-h/martina+fotos+052.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239174302937079842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SLVJRSrrYCI/AAAAAAAAAkg/a-CI7pOxepE/s320/martina+fotos+052.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Varanassi (or Benares) is the city of Shiva &amp;amp; the holiest in India running along the Ganges River where pilgrims come to wash away their sins &amp;amp; say there final words to lost loved ones by the many Ghats lining it. At times overwhelming but there is always something colourful &amp;amp; charasmatic which maintains your loving for the country. The love was not present however in the first two days. Still in shock from the bus ride we made our way out into the city taking a unfortunate wrong turn, especially just after finishing lunch. As we headed towards the river, right before our eyes was a corpse draped in linen &amp;amp; his/her family sat besides in full vocal mourning. This as it happens was the way to a burning ghat, Harischandra, &amp;amp; the smell was a little to much to handle, so a quick escape we made. Heading towards the Old City we stubbled upon a young 9 year old boy by the name of Siddharta, who was to become our guide for the day. Unlike many other of the streets kids he was brighter than his years with an exquisit talent for languages, &amp;amp; better still, wanting for nothing, never asking for food &amp;amp; declining on more than one occasion offers from Martina &amp;amp; I. In the end he settled for a kilo of apples to take home to his family, a ray of sunshine amongst many sly ones. Our tour brought us to the Brahman evening ceremony at Assi Ghat, a pleasant wander through the bright &amp;amp; colourful backstreets of the city &amp;amp; finally to Marnikarnika ghat. This ghat is unlike any other place in the world as we were brought to a balcony from where we could observe the simultaneous burning of six bodies upon individual pyres. Although clearly disturbing, like most over strange sites it was difficult to look away &amp;amp; not to observe the corpse burning there right before your eyes. The area is a huge death factory with Doms (outcasts) carrying the wood required to create the pyres &amp;amp; keep the burning process going for 24 hours a day. The bodies are brought &amp;amp; dipped into the river for cleansing, cremated, then the ashes returned to the river. What is more disturbing is that pregnant women, children under 10 &amp;amp; Sadhu's (holy men) who die do not get ths honour. Instead they have stones attached to them then they are rowed to the middle of the river &amp;amp; dumped. This being a river that people bath in, it's needless to say that none of my sins were washed away here. Enough was enough &amp;amp; after seeing a head, arm &amp;amp; leg disappear &amp;amp; melt before me, then another corpse brought &amp;amp; placed on top, it was time to go.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;On the following day, &amp;amp; with knew found knowledge, it was difficult to see the beauty &amp;amp; holiness of this place. In fact I felt so sick I could not even face eating for the day. These thoughts were enhanced by the filthiness of the city with trash strewn all over the place creating a mixed smell of death, shit &amp;amp; piss (the last 2 of which are often far too prevalent in this country). Keeping as close to beating hearts as possible we wandered the backdoubles some more &amp;amp; around the impressive University &amp;amp; for our last eveninig in India took a sunset boat ride along the river. Argh shit.....more death as we were brought to, &amp;amp; told how lucky we were, Harischandra ghat where there was the small number of four pyres &amp;amp; one corpse being dipped in preparation. From the river though, &amp;amp; putting this too the back of my mind, the cities beauty was enhanced with the differentially coloured &amp;amp; shaped buildings reflecting off the almost green water. The beauty I could just about see, as for the holiness &amp;amp; clensing powers of the river, well I'll have to think about it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So on we go once more......have now entered Nepal for a well earned holiday.....its pissing down in Pokhara.....but there is steak.....an abundance of beer that doesnt give you the runs......clean crisp fresh water lakes.....snow capped mountain peaks.....&amp;amp; locals that accept no for an answer &amp;amp; possess the power to respond to questions without the shrug of a shoulder or wiggle of the head.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ps just in case you thought we had it good, a woman passed away in the train station in the arms of her paraletic son (who then had a fight with his wife) bringing the viewed death count to 16.....the train was delayed for the standard 2 hours.....&amp;amp; it took 35 hours to get here!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Happy camping!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;X.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-2805912199850526705?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/2805912199850526705/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=2805912199850526705' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/2805912199850526705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/2805912199850526705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/08/no-time-to-blink-as-unthinkable-can.html' title='No time to blink as the unthinkable can happen - Dehli to Varanassi &amp; almost Allahabad!!!'/><author><name>Bradley O'Neill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424771021967613456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SULPNCivViI/AAAAAAAAACY/nVsMyzKdm3U/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SLVFoguWmyI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/v3uzf9WBvRM/s72-c/martina+fotos+011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-2651874238627542221</id><published>2008-08-22T05:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-22T05:59:53.318-07:00</updated><title type='text'>La dimension desconocida en Varanasi...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Hola a todos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Actualizando ya que hace bastante que no escribimos nada.

Nos tomamos un bici rickshaw con destino a Pyarag hotel el que habiamos elegido por la guia, al llegar a la esquina nuestra sorpresa fue que para entrar al hotel ibamos a necesitar un barco ya que el agua llegaba casi al manubrio de la bici, cambio de planes, nos dirigimos a otro hotel, y a otro y a otro, con la misma respuesta en todos, lleno y sino lleno pidiendo un precio desorbitante que no ameritaba bajo ningun punto de vista. Siendo las 9 de la maniana a esta altura y habiendome despertado a las 5 de la maniana tomamos la decision de saltear Allabhad, ir directo a la terminal de tren otra vez y tomarnos el proximo tren a Varanasi.  Despues de cancelar nuestro pasaje, una historia aparte por las idas y vueltas a las que fuimos sujetos, logramos alcanzar por solo 5 minutos un omnibus que en 5 horas nos llevaria a la ciudad sagrada. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;El viaje resulto tranquilo, y veniamos pensando en la suerte que habiamos tenido en subirnos a ese omnibus cuando a una hora de llegar  y en una de las multiples paradas que realizo, se subio al bus, en brazos de uno de sus familiares una mujer de no mas de 25 anios, inconciente. Brad y yo nos miramos y vimos que claramente la mujer necesitaba un medico, ya que no fijaba la vista y tenia constantes convulsiones...finalmente ella y su familia nunca llegaron a destino, a 50 km de Varanasi y con una ultima convulsion la chica se murio. La que asumimos era su hermana, rompio en llanto, y la familia se le unio con canciones y lamentos, que asumimos eran tradiciones religiosas. Mas que el shock por la muerte en si, lo que me shockeo mas fue la reaccion de los pasajeros que no tuvieron un gesto de compasion hacia la familia, sino que el hombre mas cercano a la mujer le dijo que se callara, acto seguido, el omnibus detuvo su marcha y el chofer le indico  la familia con la mujer sin vida en brazos que se bajara, ellos sin resistencia lo hicieron. Y asi nos fuimos, y por la ventana vimos como nos alejabamos y como ellos velaban a su ser querido....toda la experiencia fue surreal, pero la falta de compasion que vi entre los vivos fue mas desesperante que la muerte en lo ojos de la mujer. No los juzgo, no se como manejan estas situaciones aca pero todavia hoy pienso si pudieramos haber actuado diferente, todos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Llegamos a Varanasi y nos encontramos con otra ciudad bajo agua, calles cerradas y convertidas en piscinas naturales, autos flotando y la basura acumulandose en los bajos. Llegamos a un hotel que no estaba cubierto por agua y despues de desacansar salimos a caminar. Varanasi es una gran contradiccion, por lo menos para la mirada occidental. Es el lugar mas sagrado para la religio Hindu, el lugar donde se alcanza nirvana por excelencia, sin embargo las aguas de Ganges que sibolizan pureza y belleza espiritual se convierte en un pantano toxico a manos del hombre que no lo cuida. La basura es palpable, la lluvia porsupuesto no ayudo pero la falta de cuidado hacia el medio ambiente es algo que aun hoy despues de 2 meses en la India me choca muchisimo. Es un tema cultural, si bien la falta de tachos de basura y sistema de recoleccion es visible, aunque tengan uno al lado siempre es mas facil tirarlo al piso, y asi da igual que sea la calle o el Ganges. Contradicciones dificiles de entender. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;La maniana siguiente nos perdimos en una de las calles que dan a los Ghats o escalones que desembocan en el rio, y sin saberlo nos metimos en uno de los Ghats crematorios, el primer indicio fue el cuerpo que vimos siendo velado en el piso por la familia y el humo. Decidimos no adentrarnos aun, si lo hicimos a la tarde y que experiencia que fue. Junto con los inescrupulosos que cobran por ver el espectaculo de la muerte, estan las familias velando a sus hijos, piras funerarias, una al lado de la otra, 6 cuerpos es simultaneo siendo incinerados, y cuando uno termina se pone otro encima. Dificil de entender. Aprendimos que los ninios menores de 10 anios, los sadhus o hombres sagrados, las mujeres embarazadas y los leprosos no son quemados, sino que se los lleva al centro del ganges y atados a una piedra se los tira adentro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Y asi es como en el mismo Rio, se unen peregrinos baniandose, ninios jugando, mujeres lavando la ropa, cenizas y cuerpos sin vida. La misma agua que fluye con desechos cloacales y muerte es usada para purificar el alma y lavarse los dientes. Desde ya es un universo totalemente desconocido....yo no encuentro la veta sagrada, no la veo entre tanta basura. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Y como siempre esta el otro lado, la belleza que como una constante la encuentro en la fuerza de las mujeres y las sonrisas de los ninios....Varanasi reune en si, lo mejor y lo peor de la India, la contradiccion hecha ciudad!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Maniana salimos con destino a Nepal, donde segun nos dicen el agua es limpia y el aire es puro....Y HAY CARNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;un beso a todos!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-2651874238627542221?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/2651874238627542221/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=2651874238627542221' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/2651874238627542221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/2651874238627542221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/08/la-dimension-desconocida-en-varanasi.html' title='La dimension desconocida en Varanasi...'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-5102521569421162270</id><published>2008-08-22T05:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T08:08:20.386-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Come in she said I'll give you....shelter from the storm"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So here we go, its been a while but going to see if i can't recall events of the past 3 weeks. Full credit should always be given to Indian bus drivers as they weave their way through the mountain roads in the Northern parts of the country. This journey took us from Amritsar to Mcleod Ganj through Pathankot &amp;amp; Dharamsala with only 1 road block, caused by a bus &amp;amp; truck becoming wedged together as they both tried to squeeze by the narrow muddy lanes....&amp;amp; an almost troublesome puncture on the last short leg. However the driver carried on without a fluster &amp;amp; got us to the destination in 1 piece. Arriving at night into Mcleod was a little like being brought to a minature Benidorm with scores of young travellers revelling in the bright lights &amp;amp; happily singing along to The Beatles or Red Hot Chili Peppers being blared from all the nearby restaurants. Am not sure this was entirely what the Dalai Lama had in mind when taking his Tibetan Government to exile here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Morning though told a different story.....fresh clean air &amp;amp; beautiful mountain scenery all around &amp;amp; maybe a lack of litter.....no chance.....its all washed over the cliff edges for the obvious eye not to see.....cant have it all I guess!!! There is the issue of rain in these areas &amp;amp; plenty of it we got, in fact the most of the past weeks have been rain soaked. Fortunately on the bus we became acquainted with an entertaining Dutch couple.....Mark who was partial to a beer &amp;amp; Mareke who enjoyed a spot of shopping......a winning combination for all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Due to the rain there was not a lot to be done other than eat, drink &amp;amp; look out of the windows at the monks making their way to &amp;amp; from the temples. We did however find out that the Dalai Lama was to be holding audiences whilst we were in town so we took our place on the stone floor of the temple amongst pilgrims, tourist, Bhuddists alike. The speech was to be a lecture on Bhuddism &amp;amp; the path to enlightenment.....in Tibetan.....with translations on a small walkman loaned from a local shop. Unfortunately the majority went clean &amp;amp; crisply straight over my head but I felt better by the fact that numerous Monks were taking the time to sleep all the way through, therefore not being alone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hampered by the rain we moved East to Manali, another mountain town at 2050m, with a strong Tibetan influence, giving it a contasting atmosphere &amp;amp; differing outlook to the chaotic towns we have become so used to. Unfortunately the rain was to persist but on the occasions it cleared up it was refreshing to open the door to the hotel &amp;amp; be greeted by snow-capped mountains, apple orchards &amp;amp; freely growing marijuana fields. Did manage to make the walk to the small village of Dhungri, popular for Indian Tourists where you can indulge yourself in a photo sat on a yak or holding a vastly sedated Angoran rabbit, &amp;amp; on to Vashist, a small hippy commune 5km away along the Beas River. The finest things to find in Manali were trout which helped to take away the lingering taste of poor chicken &amp;amp; goat &amp;amp; the local Waterfalls Cider.....2 bottles of which I consumed whilst Martina indulged in a massage, only for her to return &amp;amp; find me past out on the bed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;And so the time came to depart from our Dutch companions as they headed North to Leh &amp;amp; us South to Shimla on another winding bus trip through the mountains. British influenced Shimla is perched along a 12 km ridge which appears to be able to slide away into the valley at any point. Rain soaked once more &amp;amp; avoiding the vast amounts of viscious monkeys residing here we managed to make our way through the many winding lanes reminiscent of a small Cornish town, &amp;amp; tackle the numerous bazaars around town.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In all I honesty believe there has been much information omitted from here so if you possess the ability to read Spanish then Martinas account should be for more informative. It was however a relaxing 10 days or so in the mountains, different food (to a certain degree), locals with a far contrasting mentality &amp;amp; outlook on life, &amp;amp; generally just a welcome break from the madness we have become so used to. Time though to head South again, and to see what Delhi has in store, by train on the Himalayan Queen. The first leg of the journey was by an Ivor the Enginer esque toy train which trundled its way down the &amp;amp; around the mountains passing through no less than 103 tunnels en route. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Twelve hours later &amp;amp; having said our farewells to the peace we had arrived once more in the cauldren of Indian cities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Coming in the next few days the story of Dehli &amp;amp; Varanassi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-5102521569421162270?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/5102521569421162270/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=5102521569421162270' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/5102521569421162270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/5102521569421162270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/08/come-in-she-said-ill-give-youshelter.html' title='&quot;Come in she said I&apos;ll give you....shelter from the storm&quot;'/><author><name>Bradley O'Neill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16424771021967613456</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_P7JjzYvZnFc/SULPNCivViI/AAAAAAAAACY/nVsMyzKdm3U/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+109.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-408299197644054593</id><published>2008-08-17T07:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-17T07:50:16.899-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Las primeras fotos de Delhi...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKg5_VCbvYI/AAAAAAAAAj4/DhejRdDs75A/s1600-h/Fotos+Martina+060.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235498326960094594" style="DISPLAY: block;

Parece que hace una vida que estamos en la India y solo paso un mes y medio mas o menos, todavia nos queda mucho camino por recorrer….que bueno!!&lt;br /&gt;Antes de contarles de Delhi mejor ponerlos al dia con los &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKg7PhHTCqI/AAAAAAAAAkA/Iosl0X-JUoM/s1600-h/Fotos+Martina+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235499704591256226" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKg7PhHTCqI/AAAAAAAAAkA/Iosl0X-JUoM/s320/Fotos+Martina+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;otros destinos! Despues de McLeod Ganj, que tuvo como maximo atractivo la posibilidad de verlo al Dalai Lama, la calma y el cambio de aire dado por la comunidad tibetana, y el improvisado cine al que fuimos debajo de una verduleria, nos dirijimos junto con la pareja de holandeses a Manali. Cansados de las grandes ciudades decidimos seguir con el aire fresco de las montanias! En Manali hay un monton de actividades, rafting, trekkings, etc, pero no pudimos hacer ninguno por el clima, llovio y llovio! (ya se que estan pensando que igual no iba a hacer ninguno! Pero aunq no me crean si iba a hacer zorbing! Cuando te meten en una bola de plastico gigante y rodas por una colina! En fin sera en otra oportunidad!)&lt;br /&gt;Aunque el clima no nos acompanio cuando cedia un poco si saliamos a caminar, habia caminatas cortas de 5-10 km a aldeas cercanas como Vashist a la que fuimos a pesar de las inclemencias meteorologicas! Los caminos de montania nos daban la posibilidad de meternos entre medio de aldeas, donde la gente muy amable nos indicaba el camino y posaba con gusto (y sin pedir a cambio) para las fotos. La arquitectura de las casas, si bien venidas a menos por el clima, era increible, con detalles labrados en madera y alternando piedras con este ultimo.&lt;br /&gt;Manali fue un descanso de las ciudades y del ruido, donde lo unico que escuchabamos era el sonido del Rio y los pajaros y nuestros ojos se llenaron de las plantaciones de manzana por todos lados, los caminitos al costado de las montanias y la marihuana que para nuestra sorpresa crecia libremente en el campo! (foto:bhang quiere decir marihuana y no se ve pero en el fondo estan las plantitas!! ademas es un pueblo supongo que no pusieron el cartel por eso!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Desde Manali Mark y Marieke nuestros amigos holandeses seguian camino a Leh (mas al norte) y nosotros nos ibamos al Sur, a Shimla, otro pueblo de montania. El camino hasta ahi fue lindisimo en omnibus y cruzando las montanias viendo rios y cataratas a nuestro paso. Llegamos a Shimla y fuimos a buscar hotel, tras una subida con la mochila que por poco me mata encontramos uno bueno bonito y barato. La recepcion de bienvendida en Shimla nos la dieron los monos, miles de monos, que no eran lindos y pacificos, no no MALOS MALISIMOS! No es que siempre hayan sido asi pero la gente les da de comer y claro te ven comiendo algo y se te tiran encima! Shimla era similar a Manali en cuanto a las vistas de montania pero la arquitectura era completamente distinta, totalmente inglesa! Antes solia ser el lugar donde los ingleses, en el tiempo de la colonia, iban a descansar, asiq quedan sus rastros por donde se mire.&lt;br /&gt;Desde Shimla, nos tomamos un tren al que llaman, Tren de Juguete, que pasa por 103 puentes y &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKg8JRNG1MI/AAAAAAAAAkI/8Ozw7Z4mNm0/s1600-h/Fotos+Martina+061.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235500696753067202" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKg8JRNG1MI/AAAAAAAAAkI/8Ozw7Z4mNm0/s320/Fotos+Martina+061.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;tarda 6 horas en recorrer 100 km!! Pero vale la pena por las vistas que ofrece de la montania! Cambiamos de tren en Kalka y nos tomamos el Himalayan Queen que nos trajo hasta Nueva Delhi!! Hay que decir que llegar a delhi intimida un poco pero veniamos con un poco mas de confianza ya que habiendo estado en Mumbai, y sintiendonos mas que comodos, cuando todos dicen que es peor, nos dio un poco mas de confianza. Bajamos del tren y decidimos caminar hasta Parang Ganj la zona donde estan todos los hoteles baratos y que por suerte esta a 5 minutos de la estacion a pie. (foto: inscripcion en las paredes de las terminales del tren)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nuestra calle, y donde estan todos los hoteles baratos obvio, es pura vida y movimiento, con negocios que venden de todo a toda hora. Recorrimos la zona de Connaught Place, se largo a llover terrencialmente y buscamos refugio en los bazares. Las calles son todo lo que nos imaginabamos, sucias y muy caoticas. El 15 de Agosto fue el dia de la Independencia de la India y salimos recorrerla aunque todo estuviera cerrado. Ahi pudimos ver otro lado de la ciudad caminando por el viejo Delhi. Al estar todo cerrado, todo aquel con familia estaba en su casa reunido, la calle quedaba libre para los locos y los solos. Caminamos por rincones donde la miseria era palpable y donde ver a alguien fumando crack o preparando heroina parecia lo mas normal del mundo. Seguimos recorriendo la ciudad hasta que nos metimos en el subte para volver, otra sorpresa. El subte mas moderno que vi en mi vida, mas que cualquiera de europa. Limpio, organizado, puntual y con aire acondicionado en los vagones!! Otra de esas sorpresas que te da la India cambiando de un segundo a otro sin estar uno preparado!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recorrimos el Red Fort (Lal Quila), construido por el mismo Sha que construyo el Taj Mahal, y por dentro se puede ver las similitudes, claro esta sin la magnitud del Taj. Fuimos despues a la mezquita de Jama Masjid, la mas grande en la India, donde pudimos evadir con exito a los que querian cobrar 200 Rs para entrar....muchos pagaron! Igual no pudimos evadir otro viejo y SUCIO truco que le toco vivir a brad! Se te acerca uno senilanadote el piso y cuando te das vuelta te pone caca, si si, en el pantalon o en el zapato y luego te ofrece limpiarlo y algunos pensando que son re buenos le dan plata cuando en verdad fueron ellos los que te lo pusieron....bueno la asquerosidad estaba hecha pero por lo menos no nos sacaron plata!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bueno suficiente por hoy, todavia nos quedan dos o tres dias en Delhi (hoy pobre brad estuvo en cama otra vez mal de la panza...y o sorprendida de no ser yo la que esta enferma!), asique veremos lo que nos deparan estos dias!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besos miles a todos!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-6334734422921198089?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/6334734422921198089/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=6334734422921198089' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6334734422921198089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6334734422921198089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/08/manali-shimla-y-un-vistazo-delhi.html' title='Manali, Shimla y un vistazo a Delhi...'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKg7PhHTCqI/AAAAAAAAAkA/Iosl0X-JUoM/s72-c/Fotos+Martina+015.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-4406857353138389624</id><published>2008-08-17T06:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-17T07:07:55.886-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fotos Manali</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SKgvB4qKAgI/AAAAAAAAAhA/DjeaLvPfupk/s1600-h/Fotos+Martina+032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235486276253778434" style="DISPLAY: block;

Por aca todo muy bien escribiendo desde McLeod Ganj hogar del gobierno tibetano en el exilio y residencia del Dalai Lama con quien pasamos la tarde....pero ya vamos a llegar a eso! Antes les cuento de Amristar, donde descubri uno de los lugares mas lindos desde que empezamos el viaje. Despues que Brad se mejoro de su gastroenteritis fulminante, salimos a recorrer Amristar y el Golden Temple, el lugar sagrado de los Sikhs. El templo es imponente, no por su tamanio como el Taj Mahal sino por su belleza (sin desmerecer la belleza del Taj Mahal obvio!). El templo esta recubierto de oro y el interior esta forrado del mismo oro e incrustado con piedas preciosas. Todo en el complejo del Golden Temple tiene una atmosfera espiritual, el mismo esta en el medio de un lago artificial donde peregrinos Sikhs, con sus turbantes de colores, sus barbas largas y luciendo con orgullo la daga que llevan colgada cruzandoles el pecho se banian y rezan. La entrada al templo es gratis y adentro voluntarios preparan dos veces por dia la comida que tambien es gratis para al rededor de 40.000 peregrinos. Hay tambien adentro del complejo dormitorios gratis donde uno se puede quedar a dormir. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230666884118194178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcP0V5DqAI/AAAAAAAAAdw/neuuX70oY28/s320/fotos+agra+060.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Mientras caminabamos al rededor del lago admirando la belleza del Templo nos encontro Gopal un Sikh que vive en Londres y que estaba en Amristar organizando y coordinando un grupo de rehabilitacion de drogas. El nos explico acerca de la filosofia Sikh, y como ellos toman la religion como filosofia y forma de vida donde se rigen por principios morales orientados al bien. Reconocen y respetan a todas las religiones que tienen como fin alcanzar el bien. Nos explico todos los elementos que distinguen a un Sikh, las 5 K's por su nombre en hindi, la pulsera de hierro que llevan en la muneca, el turbante, la barba y el pelo largo y la daga que llevan cruzada. Para entrar al templo habia que hacer una cola bastante larga que como ibamos a ir a la frontera con Pakistan no teniamos tiempo de hacer pero el nos guio hasta la puerta y aunque no queriamos saltar la cola, el insistio en que para ellos era una obligacion y un honor mostrarnos su forma de vida y su filosofia, con lo cual llegamos a la entrada del templo en 2 minutos en lugar de en 2 horas. Por adentro era tan impresionante como por fuera. Con la belleza tanto fisica como espiritual que le daba el canto constante de los 4 sacerdotes por llamarlos de alguna manera que cantan las 24 horas los versos de su libro sagrado.&lt;br /&gt;En fin, tuvimos una experiencia increible, siendo este el primer lugar donde realmente pude sentir la espiritualidad de la India, acompaniado por la generosidad de los Sikhs que nos dieron la bienvenida y nos dejaron ver un poco solamente como son y la belleza de su filosofia.&lt;br /&gt;Esa misma tarde nos esperaba un espectaculo distinto en la frontera de Attari-Wagah entre la India y Pakistan. En la entrada de Brad pueden ver un video, es irreal, gradas que parecen de un partido de futbol del lado indio musica banghra y hombres y mujeres bailando en la calle al grito de "Hindustan!", todo esto como preambulo a la actual ceremonia del cierre de frontera. De ambos lados, tanto de la India como de Pakistan, ambos grupos de soldados se dirigen hacia la frontera del vecino pais haciendo un despliegue de fuerza y machismo teatrico que a nosotros los turistas nos arranca alguna que otra risa pero para ellos es una demostracion de fuerza y patriotismo muy serio. Una experiencia surrealista sin duda.&lt;br /&gt;Ahora les escribo desde McLeod Ganj, como ya les dije el epicentro de la comunidad tibetana en el exilio. Ni bien llegamos, nosotros y nuestros nuevos amigos una pareja de holandeses, Marieke y Mark y dos inglesitos, Steven y Alex, nos sentimos en otro pais. Nuestra primera impresion fue rara, ya que llegamos un sabado a la noche y lo que pensamos iba a ser un pueblo tranquilo y espiritual hogar del Dalai Lama, parecia mas un resort con restaurantes y fiestas, cervezas y jolgorio....igualmente, solo fue la primera impresion, a la maniana siguiente nos despertamos con la vista de los Himalayas Indios, nos encontramos con monjes budistas tibetanos y vimos como de repente parecia que habiamos salido de la India y nos encontrabamos en el Tibet.&lt;br /&gt;Tuvimos la suerte que el Dalai Lama iba a dar por 3 dias solamente lecturas en el templo Budista de McLeod, asique fuimos a la oficina de seguridad para registrarnos con nuestros pasaportes y obtener nuestra credencial para poder entrar al templo. Esa misma tarde fuimos a visitar el templo a ver como era, y nos enteramos que la gente dejaba un papel con su nombre en el piso para reservar lugar, asique para no ser menos hicimos lo mismo. Dejamos nuestros 6 nombres en dos lugares distintos por las dudas!&lt;br /&gt;Esa noche fuimos a ver un documental y una obra de teatro hecha por tibetanos mostrando la situacion de los tibetanos en tibet y los abusos cometidos por el gobierno chino, el tono de la obra fue mas bien violento ( ni hablar que la situacion para los tibetanos en el tibet ES violenta), pero bueno, la obra desperto el debate entre nosotros que nos quedamos hasta la medianoche hablando sobre la misma.&lt;br /&gt;Hoy a la maniana fuimos al templo a escuchar la lectura del Dalai Lama. La primera fue a la maniana pero como iba a estar muy lleno decidimos ir recien a la segunda que era a la 1 de la tarde. Alquilamos unas radios por donde podiamos escuchar la traduccion al ingles, y compartimos 2 horas con su Santidad el Dalai Lama que hablo sobre el Budismo Tibetano y la forma de alcanzar nirvana. La traduccion en ingles no era la mejor y dado nuestro poco conocimiento del Budismo hubieron muchas cosas que no entendimos, los monjes que asistian tomaban notas, algunos se quedaban dormidos (y que no me digan que estaban meditando..), como si fuera una clase en una universidad. Mas alla de lo que podamos o no haber entendido, tenerlo al Dalai Lama a 2 metros de distancia fue una experiencia unica y un privilegio.&lt;br /&gt;Por ahora me despido, seguramente maniana salgamos para Manali, si la lluvia y las rutas lo permiten, son caminos de montania con camino de barro asiq cuando llueve se complica, pero bueno, nos iremos contentos sintiendo que tuvimos la suerte de verlo al Dalai Lama y de vivir un poco la vida del Tibet.&lt;br /&gt;Besos y Abrazos desde los Himalayas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-634711346684552450?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/634711346684552450/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=634711346684552450' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/634711346684552450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/634711346684552450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/08/hola-todos-como-estan-por-aca-todo-muy.html' title=''/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcP0V5DqAI/AAAAAAAAAdw/neuuX70oY28/s72-c/fotos+agra+060.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-856514105028008789</id><published>2008-08-04T06:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T20:21:05.635-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fotos McLeod Ganj</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcO9h2f33I/AAAAAAAAAdo/bgZTAEp0Ke8/s1600-h/fotos+mcleod+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230665942435880818" style="DISPLAY: block;

However any building or monument which you find yourself staring at for hours upon end knowing full well that nothing will change or happen is fairly aweinspiring &amp;amp; this all before we made it into the grounds.&lt;br /&gt;Was tempted to refuse the Rs750 entrance fee to view the Taj at its best, but once stepping into &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcQ1lCxvoI/AAAAAAAAAeA/YJuvbq-Xt6c/s1600-h/fotos+agra+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230668004876992130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcQ1lCxvoI/AAAAAAAAAeA/YJuvbq-Xt6c/s200/fotos+agra+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the grounds it all felt worth it, even if at times a little like a theme park. Without viewing with your own eyes the only way to describe the Mughal mausoleum is as love inspired architectural masterpiece, simple, spectactular &amp;amp; sublime all at once.  A great shame that its creater, poor Emperor Shah Jahan, was imprisoned by his own son only a few years after building was complete. As always in this country nothing makes sense, especially the constant request for photos of Martina &amp;amp; I, which we are most flattered by.  However when in touching distance from one of the worlds most fascinating landmarks we could not help but wonder why two dirty sweat soaked albino monkeys would be more appealling to the locals.  Guess that we will never truly understand....???&lt;br /&gt;The Taj Mahal &amp;amp; Agra are a little like steak &amp;amp; salad....you eat the meat &amp;amp; the rest is a waste of time, so we chose the brave option of a 16 hour train ride to Amritsar in the state of Punjab. As exciting as train stations can be, 7 hours waiting turned out to be a little too much.  Never to fear though, it did arrive &amp;amp; we set off around 10pm, with just enough time to get a couple of street onion bhaji's into the belly to combat any morning hunger. This however proved to be not the brightest of ideas as 2 hours in &amp;amp; the floodgates opened.....puking.....shits.....walking incapabilities.....more fever than Ella Fitzgerald &amp;amp; still a good 14 hours to go......great stuff. Fortunately I made the executive decision to wake Martina &amp;amp; allow her the pleasure of suffering with me  (Note that she had previously turned down my offer to share the bhaji!). But what a fine nursing job she did.....running to fetch water, improvising with socks to cool down my head &amp;amp; muscles, temperature checking, although could not understand why she chose not to join me during my toilet visits. It seems that all Indians are doctors too, offering remedies &amp;amp; advice from drinking Chai tea (which I took but detest &amp;amp; brought straight back up), chopping up &amp;amp; sniffing onions (politely declined), &amp;amp; a concerned Sikh lady's idea that kissing a Rs1 coin, pressing it against my forehead &amp;amp; donating it to a train begger should solve the problem.....nice thoughts &amp;amp; good memoris at least. So after finally arrving in Amritsar, a swift visit to A&amp;amp;E, a ridiculous amount of medicine, one day in bed watching 80's movies &amp;amp; all was solved, no worries.&lt;br /&gt;Amritsar is home to another of Indias finest splendours The Golden Temple.....Sikhisms holiest shrine &amp;amp; for me, so far, the most fascinating sight. The welcoming spiritual atmosphere is as enchanting as a 7 year olds first visit to Disneyland, with 1000's of pilgrims idly chatting around the complex &amp;amp; bathing in the pool surrounding the temple itself, Darbar Habib, accompanied by the continuous hypnotic Gurmukhi chants by the 4 priests inside. Being open to all 24 hours a&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcRD2u2FFI/AAAAAAAAAeI/5dwkIZLkPP8/s1600-h/fotos+agra+078.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230668250143396946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcRD2u2FFI/AAAAAAAAAeI/5dwkIZLkPP8/s320/fotos+agra+078.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; day, from dawn till dusk hoards of colourfully turbaned &amp;amp; headscarved people can be seen creating the organised chaos around the nearby streets, adding to the magnitude of the sight.&lt;br /&gt;30km west down the road however is a scene of something verging on the ridiculous at the Attari (Indian)/Wagah (Pakistan) border crossing. Whoever had the idea to build footballesque terracing either side of the border and then invite all &amp;amp; sundry to come sing &amp;amp; dance to Bhangra pop whilst awaiting the military choreographed clsoing ceremony to begin is an absolute genius of entertainment. And the ceremony itself is as much bizarre as entertaining which can only be described as a scene combining &amp;amp; inspired by Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks &amp;amp; We Are The Champions.....here is a sneak preview although not the best.....&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW_vf1ONQKM"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW_vf1ONQKM&lt;/a&gt;. We did also manage to purchase a feature length DVD for those interested in seeing more.&lt;br /&gt;So our time here is done &amp;amp; on we go again with the next stop Dharamsala &amp;amp; McLoed Ganj (Central Himachal Pradesh) where I shall endeavour to offer some kind advice in keeping the peace to a certain Dala Lamai.&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.

Saludos desde Amristar, a solo 30 km de la frontera con Pakistan!!! Salimos ayer de Agra donde pasamos 3 dias deambulando por la ciudad y admirando el Taj Mahal desde todos sus angulos! desde la terraza de nuestro hotel teniamos una vista privilegiada. El Taj Mahal es igual de lindo que se lo imaginan pero mas! es increible, cambia a cadaminuto con la luz y tiene un efecto hipnotizante, nunca pense que podia llegar a mirar tanto un edificio/estructura/obra de arte! no se como llamarlo!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Ayer llegamos a Amristar despues de un viaje en tren para el olvido!! Empezando porque llego 7 horas tarde a la terminal de Agra pero eso hubiera sido nada en comparacion con lo que vino despues. Como la espera fue larga comimos algo en la estacion, unos pastelitos de papa y Brad comio ademas unas Somosas de aspecto sospechoso que sin duda habian estado en el mostrador por lo menos una semana. Una vez que llego el tren, emprendimos viaje pensando que nos esperaba una noche relajada, 16 largas horas para dormir en el tren...bueno la somosa asesina tenia otros planes para nosotros. A pocas horas de empezar el viaje brad se empezo a sentir mal reiterando excursiones al banio del tren. Le subio una fiebre de 39 y medio super rapido asiq con los pocos elementos que teniamos en el tren una media nike y una botella de agua fria y paracetamol+ibuprofeno intente batallar con su fiebre por las 11 horas que restaban del viaje. Ni hablar que el no durmio y no podia ni moverse del dolor y yo que sin dolor pero sin dormir lo cuide lo mejor que pude, pero pobrecito lo que sufrio. Llegamos a Amristar y fuimos directo al hospital donde por menos de 5 dolares nos dieron una consulta con una Doctora y compramos los medicamentos que tiene que tomar para su Gastroenteritis como nos dijo la Doc. Ahora esta en cama comodamente en el hotel con aire acondicionado y tele y sin fiebre!! Cuidado en India, algunas somosas son asesinas!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Desde aca me despido sin mas novedades, maniana iremos a visitar el Golden Temple, un templo dedicado a la religion Sikh, y luego a la tarde seguramente iremos a la frontera con Pakistan, en Attari, para ver la ceremonia de cierre que para la mayoria de los turistas resulta graciosa pero para ellos es un tema muy serio, y no es para menos si pensamos en las guerras que tuvieron entre si!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Un beso muy grande, vuelvo a mis funciones de enfermera!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-3484814440151390754?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/3484814440151390754/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=3484814440151390754' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/3484814440151390754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/3484814440151390754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/07/taj-mahal-y-la-somosa-asesina.html' title='Taj Mahal y la Somosa Asesina...'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SJcR-ypFDAI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/j2rG90qn6_0/s72-c/fotos+agra+084.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-8049005543962791916</id><published>2008-07-25T00:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T20:21:19.644-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mas fotos de Rajastan (Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Pushkar y Jaipur!)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImYQSLi16I/AAAAAAAAAYw/w-jIJKH3jDc/s1600-h/martina+012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226876248065759138" style="DISPLAY: block;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Aprovecho esta hora y poco y que nos queda antes de tomarnos el omnibus de Pushkar a Jaipur para actualizarlos y contarles las ultimas novedades. Desde udaipur salimos con destino a &lt;strong&gt;Jaisalmer&lt;/strong&gt; ya en el desierto de Rajastan. Llegamos y tuvimos la agradable sorpresa de encontrarnos una piscina en el hotel donde habiamos decidido quedarnos....era literalmente un oasis en el medio del desierto. Lo unico malo era la insistencia de la gerencia del hotel en querer vendernos el famoso tour a camello, a un modico precio de 3000 Rupias por dia (unos 70 dolares!) claramente les dijimos que lo pensariamos y salimos a buscar mejores ofertas. Despues de mucho buscar, finalmente nos decidimos por Mr.Satyam que por 450Rs por dia (10 dolares) nos daban camellos, guias y 3 comidas mas agua ilimitada!! Cerramos el trato, 2 noches y 3 dias, acordando pagar parte antes de ir y parte al regreso....nos iluminamos y resulto ser muy util a la luz de los acontecimientos que siguieron!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Partimos la maniana siguiente muy temprano en jeep hacia el Thar Desert, en compania de uno de los guias y Shu nuestro companiero japones que nos iba a acompaniar solo por la primer&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImZktmR_UI/AAAAAAAAAY4/FVkqP6Eag-U/s1600-h/martina+022.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226877698534669634" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImZktmR_UI/AAAAAAAAAY4/FVkqP6Eag-U/s320/martina+022.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; noche. Ya a las puertas del desierto nos esperaban dos guias mas y nuestro 3 camellos. Sin introduccion alguna nos subimos a los camellos y aprendimos por cuenta propia como montarlos! Genial! ya al final los haciamos correr!! Despues de "cabalgar/camellar" (??) por 3 horas paramos para almorzar y descubrimos que nuestros "Guias" que de guias no tenian NADA estaban enamorados de Shu y el Bhang (marihuana) salvo fumar y cocinar los guias no servian para nada! en dos dias en el desierto ni una vez mencionaron el nombre o nada, o eran mudos o estaban duros, o un poco de los dos! Ojo que no tengo problema que fumen, pero decinos ALGO! en fin, luego del almuerzo cabalgamos hasta las dunas donde ibamos a pasar la noche, bajo las estrellas y sin otro refugio que dos mantas! muy pintoresco, mas todavia el tamanio de los cascarudos con los que compartiamos el lecho!! Pude dormir (con un ojo abierto por miedo que el camello que andaba suelto nos pisara la cabeza!). Nos despertamos y luego del desayuno nuestro amigo Shu se fue con destino a Jaisalmer y Brad y yo con nuestros tres guias de utileria partimos mas adentro del desierto. Despues que 3 horas de absoluto silencio por su parte y hasta algun que otro comentario descortes para con brad, nos miramos y tomamos la decision ejecutiva de no dormir esa noche en el desierto y volver a la "ciudad", ellos no se inmutaron y estuvieron de acuerdo (ya que como nos enteramos luego pensaban q habiamos pagado todo y a ellos igual les iban a pagar). Igualmente no me fui sin antes darles mi aporte de critica constructiva y tras los ruegos de "no le digan a mi jefe del bhang" les di mi palabra que eso, y solo eso, no les iba a decir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;De regreso en Jaisalmer el jefe nos esperaba ansioso por saber porque habiamos vuelo un dia antes, le di mis motivos, los mismos que les habia dado a los guias menos la historia del bhang, les habia dado mi palabra y la iba a cumplir. Parecian avergonzados Mr. Satyam y otro sr, que luego me entere era el el hermano y el duenio de los camellos y el jefe directo de los guias. En fin, tras una conversacion amena donde parecian entender y darnos la razon por completo decidimos pararnos para irnos cuando nos madrugan con "falta pagar la mitad".....eeeeh.....como......nah.....claramente no les ibamos a pagar a la otra mitad y a pesar de la insistencia del duenio de los camellos (el duenio de la agencia no sabia donde meterse se le notaba la verguenza ajena) nosotros nos mantuvimos firmes y no pusimos ni media rupia mas, igual hasta que no me llevaron al borde de las lagrimas (alguna se escapo) no cedio. Hay que entender despues de 2 dias a camello, con arena y pulgas hasta las orejas y sin dormir mis emociones eran facilmente desbordadas.....pero nada que un dia en la pileta y de shopping no curara.!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImat1Ms1oI/AAAAAAAAAZA/VikiZwlfsoA/s1600-h/martina+026.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226878954705311362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImat1Ms1oI/AAAAAAAAAZA/VikiZwlfsoA/s320/martina+026.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Jaisalmer tiene telas bordadas increibles, compramos 4 a Bobby y Rashi, las unicas dos mujeres que las vendian en el fuerte y nos contaban lo dificil que es para las mujeres ser independientes y buscarse la vida. Nos contaron de los abusos (fisicos a ellas y a las telas) que sufrian por salirse un poco de la norma y no aceptar casarse (Bobby 28) y tener su propio negocio....fue solo ahi cuando nos dimos cuenta que casi no vimos mujeres trabajando...tenemos todos los datos de ellas y los llevaremos con nosotros, hacen envios internacionales por nada asique si hay interesados hablamos a la vuelta!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226883767692751778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImfF--U86I/AAAAAAAAAZo/5UJXJLO00oA/s320/martina+031.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;En fin nuestro paso por Jaisalmer fue interesante a pesar de la experiencia agridulce del tour, andar a camello por localidades tan remotas fue una buena experiencia!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Salimos de Jaisalmer con destino a &lt;strong&gt;Jodphur&lt;/strong&gt;, donde solo nos quedamos dos noches pero basto para ver Meherangar, el fuerte del Maharaja de Jodhpur que esta super bien puesto, y a pesar de vernos como tarados con el audio tour, nos pusimos los auriculares y lo recorrimos de punta a punta con anecdotas e historia. Despues de ahi fue salir con camino a Pushkar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Pushkar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Llegamos a Pushkar previo paso por Ajmer donde nos dejo el omnibus y desde donde nos tomamos un bus local, repleto de gente hasta este sitio sagrado. Pushkar quiere decir flor y mano, ya que en lago sagrado se hacen ofrendas. LLegamos y tras recorrer un poco (es muy chiquito asique se ve en un dia) fuimos al templo de Brahma el unico en su clase. Desde ahi nos intercepto un "guia" que decia no ser guia y nos llevo recorriendo el templo y luego de las narices casi al lago sagrado a hacer nuestra ofrenda. Ya sabiamos que el ritual tiene su costo, una donacion que de donacion no tiene nada ya que por cada miembro de tu familia o amigos, vivos o muertos pagar 100 rupias! claro esta que no ibamos a pagar o por lo menos no obligados de esa manera, hicimos el ritual dejando esto en claro y a pesar que el brahmin de brad un poco se enojo el mio se mantuvo tranquilo. Con esto nos pusieron una cinta roja y amarilla en la munieca y ya nadie mas nos persiguio para dejar ofrendas.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImbsz6rmNI/AAAAAAAAAZI/2jJktA6jtUc/s1600-h/martina+084.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226880036693055698" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImbsz6rmNI/AAAAAAAAAZI/2jJktA6jtUc/s320/martina+084.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;No se si creer en Karma, pero luego de hacer el ritual y no dejar plata, caminando de regreso al hotel decidi mirar el cielo y no el piso y como resultado termine cayendome adentro de una alcantarilla india!!!! Un asco!!!!!! no lo vi, brad lo salto, y obvio asumiendo que no soy tarada no me aviso....no contaba con mi astucia. Me fui de lleno para adentro, no quiero ni acordarme lo que habia adentro, por suerte posicione el cuerpo para caer sentada! no me lastime, mas alla de unos raspones y por supuesto el ego, que se recupero facilmente!!! pense....si me voy a caer, mejor caerme lo mas bajo que pueda.....mmm....si una alcantarilla India! al dia siguiente nos mudamos a un hotel con piscina olimpica y aire acondicionado! no hay mal que por bien no venga.....por las dudas antes de irme dejare una pequenia donacion en el templo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Bueno sin mas me despido, ahora de camino a Jaipur y luego no se!! pero los mantendremos informados!!!

There is a theory that when the rains come its washes all the rubbish away &amp;amp; so therefore no requirement for a clean up program. My view however is that the 1000s of herds of cows are deemed as sacred &amp;amp; holy due to the fact that they are specifically bred recycling cows. Each herd in each town can be seen going by their daily business, with one munching away on cardboard, another happily chomping on some plastic waste, the next cruching through a discarded beer bottle &amp;amp; so on until all varieties of waste are accounted for. Am not sure how much they are getting paid or what kind of afterlife they are being promised but they seem happy enough &amp;amp; gives them less appeal to the Western traveller pining for a steak.  We shall be holding firm with the goat &amp;amp; sparrow like chicken dishes for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So what of the past 2 weeks.....there's been camel riding.....desert sleeping......stinking headaches......dodgy priest dodging......&amp;amp; Martina throwing herself into ditches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Having been driven into the Thar desert &amp;amp; the town of Jailsalmer by a bus driver who could easily have taken up a post on the Snake Train at Drayton Manor Park we set out on our camel safari.....3 days &amp;amp; 2 nights of fact based fun &amp;amp; entertainment. Unfortunately we did not hit it off too well with the 3 inbred desert-born guides.  This could possibly have been because I quizzed them for some time on&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImctZ4vfmI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/CWyPUtYkcyU/s1600-h/martina+023.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226881146397097570" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImctZ4vfmI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/CWyPUtYkcyU/s320/martina+023.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; whether desert villages had purely inter-family marriage. The 6 hours spent each day bouncing up &amp;amp; down was more than enjoyable......but with sand filling certain areas of the body &amp;amp; a number of flee bites to the backside we felt our time was up. Fortunately waiting back in Jailsalmer was the luxury of a swimming pool, probably rain water but no comlplaints. Another day in the searing heat to visit Jailsalmer Fort &amp;amp; Gadi Sagar with the attractive Tilon-ki-Pol, a gateway to the city constructed by a local prostitute.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;On we moved again to the steaming hot blue city of Jodhpur &amp;amp; the dominating Meherangrah fort.....at which we took in the full tourist option of headset &amp;amp; audioguide (needless to say there will be no photographic evidence of me using such device). It was here that my cockiness at battling the spices &amp;amp; heat succumbed.....I was now the proud owner of a 3 day thumping head &amp;amp; backside to rival any Johnny Cash classic. Not to be deterred.....a &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImdfnEI8lI/AAAAAAAAAZY/muMm8cG2Y6A/s1600-h/martina+050.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226882008928023122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImdfnEI8lI/AAAAAAAAAZY/muMm8cG2Y6A/s200/martina+050.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;brief run around the city to see Clock Tower, Sardar Market &amp;amp; The Omelette Shop....then to try our luck at being allowed into Umaid Bhawan Palace, home to the Maharaja &amp;amp; family. Looking very much like a couple of vagrants we were not holding out much hope.....however Martina's convincing book writing tale persuaded the pleasant doorman to allow us to view the reception &amp;amp; lobby.......although I could see in his eyes that he knew at any moment 1 of us was to start rolling around &amp;amp; licking the immaculately clean marble floors......was good while it lasted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Next stop Pushkar, the second holiest town in the country and home to 1000 temples, 1 of the few Brahmin Temples in the world &amp;amp; numerous priest hassling you to part with multiples of Rs100 in return for relasing some flowers into the lake &amp;amp; a red ribbon around your wrist......bargain. We partook, collected our ribbon &amp;amp; gave no money......deal. Other than aimlessly watch pilgrims bathing in the ghats &amp;amp; see the sun set over the mountains Pushkar is fairly uneventful. So it was here where Martina decided that my weeks of opting for the $4 rooms with a lack of A/C was enough. Whilst walking home on the 1st night.....bearing in mind street lighting is non existent &amp;amp; my choice of residence was out of town.....I made to cross the road only to hear a slight cry for help.  On turning round I was greeted with the not so graceful sight of Martina disappearing into the roadside ditch &amp;amp; landing arse down into the city sewage. Fortunately being a sacred town any&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImeBNXUVBI/AAAAAAAAAZg/9id5itCbE0Q/s1600-h/martina+092.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226882586144691218" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImeBNXUVBI/AAAAAAAAAZg/9id5itCbE0Q/s320/martina+092.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; bathroom extracts, animal dispense &amp;amp; general waste will have been of the highest quality &amp;amp; purity......so with no more lost than a little pride &amp;amp; 1 flipflop she bravely dusted herself off, gave me a look of distress cum laughter &amp;amp; soldiered on. Needless to say the next morning we made our way to the extortionately priced $12 deluxe air conditioned room complete with Olympic swimming pool where we stayed for the next three days.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The past two days have been spent travelling on stuffy buses with a brief stop in the overly pushy pink city of Jaipur. As always there are ups &amp;amp; downs in every place &amp;amp; this was to prove the same. A rickshaw ride took us around the Old (Pink) City &amp;amp; up to the Temple of the Sun God (Monkey Temple) at Galta. Casually climbing through the rocky barren gorge to view the thousands of&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImgw2GI5gI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/Ozlc3GIKgsQ/s1600-h/martina+105.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226885603555599874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SImgw2GI5gI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/Ozlc3GIKgsQ/s320/martina+105.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; monkeys at play &amp;amp; bathing pilgrims, we made our way down the other side to greet our driver.  It seemed the communication barrier had played its part again....prairie shit....so back over we go in the mid afternoon torturous sun......good exercise I guess. Three fine things coming out of Jaipur have been our second Bollywood movie at the Raj Mandir Cinema, which is so ugly its almost verges on beauty.....being chased by a 15 year old boy with rabies &amp;amp; the discovery of Indias best beer to date......Godfather 10000+ Strong Beer.....8% of pure amber nectar delights....&amp;amp; at Rs90 for a 650ml bottle you can be happily tucked up in bed on 3 with only $6 missing from the pocket.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Should keep you entertained for a few days.....so for now I bid you farewell &amp;amp; shisha ho shisha ho. X&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ps As of today we are in Agra &amp;amp; there is a lot of talk about a place called the Taj Mahal.....might check it out....providing time allows of course.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-6939671944734860764?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/6939671944734860764/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=6939671944734860764' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6939671944734860764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6939671944734860764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/07/sacred-cows-at-work-past-2-weeks-events.html' title='Sacred Cows at work....&amp;

It has been tough though doing less than the daily activities of a manatee, using maniana to full effect &amp;amp; enjoying it.&lt;br /&gt;Our 1st taste of Rajasthan has been a fine 1 &amp;amp; a week in Raju's family Nukkad Hotel, in the heart of Udaipur, most memorable. On the downside there has been a lack of quirkiness to report....just lazing....eating....plenty of meat eating....&amp;amp; the odd Kingfisher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The centre piece of the city is Lake Pichola and the floating Lake Palace which is currently about as wet as a camels arse....although today, ironically, its pissing down, the day we chose to make to tracks &amp;amp; head for the desert.

Hace casi una semana que nos instalamos &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHcKgeQthjI/AAAAAAAAASw/_QkZ1b9xT38/s1600-h/Picture+325.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221653845954627122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHcKgeQthjI/AAAAAAAAASw/_QkZ1b9xT38/s200/Picture+325.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;en esta ciudad y no es para menos, es un descanso y un alivio despues de dias de viajar por lugares mas reconditos! Udaipur es una ciudad hermosa al pie de las montanias y rodeado del Lago Pichola que tiene como mayor atraccion en el medio el Palacio flotante del Maharaja que iluminado a la noche junto con el segundo palacio en una isla no muy lejos da una imagen espectacular sobre el agua. El lago no estaba lleno del todo cuando llegamos asique el primer dia pensamos que tal vez la vista no iba a ser tan linda, error, habia suficiente agua para dar una imagen espectacular. Udaipur es un lugar mucho mas turistico, sobre todo visitado por franceses y espanioles, increible la cantidad que hay! La gente aca esta mas acostumbrada a los turistas con lo cual no los miran como bichos raros....pero debo admitir, que yo los miro como bichos raros, hay cada uno!! En fin, los restaruants tienen comida india, china y "continental", o sea pasta y pollo, me vino increible para la panza estoy 10 puntos otra vez!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHcJWzRfCfI/AAAAAAAAASo/AvRmWRYtDUY/s1600-h/Picture+333.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221652580284697074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHcJWzRfCfI/AAAAAAAAASo/AvRmWRYtDUY/s200/Picture+333.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nuestros dias en Udaipur consitieron basicamente en caminar por la ciudad sin prisa y con calma, leer nuestros libros (la biografia de Gandhi) en algun cafe al borde del lago, caminar por el Palacio de la ciudad y cenar afuera (esto ultimo no es opcion ya que no existen los hostels con cocina!), descansar el nuestro hotel, Nukkad Guesthouse, llevado adelante por el Sr. Raju y su familia, un lugar hermoso, con un cuarto enoooorme y por nada, y Raju, el lo maximo nos organizo todo y siempre con una sonrisa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Una de las noches fuimos a ver un espectaculo de musica y baile folclorico de Rajastan en Bagore-ki-Haveli, los artistas eran increibles, danzas, musica, show de titeres....increible! &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHcLvNuw0JI/AAAAAAAAAS4/VM5lQLJZ-E4/s1600-h/Picture+297.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221655198726934674" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHcLvNuw0JI/AAAAAAAAAS4/VM5lQLJZ-E4/s200/Picture+297.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ayer alquilamos un rickshaw por el dia y fuimos a visitar los lugares mas alejados, el Sr. Bapu, nos llevo a toda velocidad a Shilpigram, donde recorrimos aldeas tradicionales de esta zona de la india, Tiger Lake, un lago natural ( el Lago Pichola fue hecho por el hombre) increible! y por ultimos Monsoon Palace, en la cima de una montania desde donde vimos el atardecer...ya no amenzaba con llover y las nubes le daban al cielo un color rosado increible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Hoy a la noche dejamos nuestra vida de comodidad y salimos de nuevo a la ruta, esta vez con destino a Jaisalmer, una vieja ciudad fortificada y entrada al desierto!!

(aunque a nosotros todos nos saludan diciendo hello yo sigo con el namaste!)....donde habiamos dejado? saliendo de Ahmedabad? correcto! El viaje de Ahmedabad a Palitana paso sin mayores sobresaltos, por suerte, la terminal de omnibus quedaba en frente del hotel donde nos ibamos a quedar...el tiempo por otra parte no era alentador. Ni bien llegamos se largo a llover primero leve, despues mas intenso hasta que se quedo en un punto intermedio. Decidimos hacer el check in e ir a almorzar para tener las ideas mas claras. Despues de comer, masala dhosa otra vez, decidimos ir a Shatrunajaya, que es lugar sagrado para el Jainismo. A pesar del mal tiempo, decidimos empezar el ascenso de 3.751 escalones hasta la cima donde se encuentran los templos dedicados a los distintos dioses.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221637159547579506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb7VMjQLHI/AAAAAAAAASI/yoU6KNx2q2s/s320/Picture+163.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Para hacerlo como corresponde, lo hicimos en patas y a pie sin hacer uso de los servicios de los portadores que entre 4 te llevaban sentado en una silla sonstenida en dos troncos sobre sus hombros. Empezamos a subir confiados que no era "tan lejos"...error.... para el escalon numero 1.500 estabamos, ambos sin aliento! (yo no tengo estado fisico pero el si!). Ya estabamos jugados aisque seguimos subiendo bajo la mirada de aprobacion de los peregrinos. Al llegar a la cima, la lluvia se habia hecho mas intensa pero fue entrar al sitio sagrado para que nos diera un respiro y pudieramos recorrer los distintos templos, relativamente secos. Al estar el tiempo asi, tuvimos la buena suerte que teniamos todo el lugar para nosotros solos. Templos imponentes en colores tierra y rosa palido chocaban contra el cielo gris plomo dando unas vistas espectaculares. Nos perdimos entre los cientos de templos, subiendo y bajando escaleras a nuestra discrecion y teniendo el privilegio de recorrer la totalidad de los templos solos y en silencio...algo dificil de encontrar en la India. El descenso probo ser igual de desafiante que la subida, ya que la lluvia convertia a los escalones en un gran tobogan resbaladizo, pero bajamos con la satisfaccion de la mision cumplida. De regreso a la ciudad fuimos a cenar, para mi un sandwich de queso, si, mi estomago dijo basta (mas los intestinos que el estomago pero no entrare en detalles), finalmente la comida india con sus especias y picantes probo ser demasiado para mi organismo occidental!&lt;br /&gt;En Palitana estuvimos una sola noche, a la maniana siguiente salimos hacia Junaghad....y que viaje nos esperaba.&lt;br /&gt;Ya en la terminal de omnibus tuvimos una demora de 2 horas que no era para molestarse si no fuera por la mirada inquisitiva de cuanta persona estaba en la estacion. Nunca en la vida me senti tan observada! Cada movimiento, cada respiro era seguido con interes y a veces aprehension por los locales que nos miraban como bichos raros. Algunos nos hablaban pero como en otras ocasiones la conversacion no iba mas lejos que "what country you are?" y "what's name?" una lastima de haber podido hablar el idioma seguramente hubieramos tenido buenas charlas! Finalmente llego el omnibus....cada uno x su cuenta, a matar o morir.... claramente esto no lo sabiamos asique viajamos todo el primer trayecto del viaje sentados en el piso....pero no importaba, era un viaje de 3 horas....o eso creiamos.&lt;br /&gt;Al comienzo del viaje, sentados en el piso, no dispusimos a compartir la unica comida que teniamos para el trayecto, una barra de chocolate cadbury. La abri, la rompi en muchos pedazos chiquitos y la pasamos entre los pasajeros mas cercanos a nosotros, todos lo recibieron de buena gana y ese solo gesto resulto ser una movida maestra a la luz de los eventos que pasaron despues. A media hora de llegar a destino, y cuando finalmente habiamos tenido asientos, el omnibus se detuvo por completo, y vimos adelante nuestro una larga fila de camiones y buses. Piquete? tal vez, no de la abudancia pero natural. El rio se habia desbordado tapando por completo la ruta por donde debiamos pasar, conviertiendola en una arteria mas del mismo rio. A esta altura nos habiamos hecho amigos de los locales que viajaban con nosotros (que a pesar que nos sacaban fotos y videos, ya se habian acostumbrado y eramos uno mas....o casi) . Una de las chicas mas &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb-qD4BIOI/AAAAAAAAASg/gYVf5cOhf2Y/s1600-h/Picture+177.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221640816530890978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb-qD4BIOI/AAAAAAAAASg/gYVf5cOhf2Y/s200/Picture+177.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;jovenes que hablaba ingles no dijo si queriamos bajar a ver el agua, si porque no pensamos, va a ser una foto anecdotica. Salimos del bus y caminamos lo que habra sido 2 cuadras hasta la orilla de la ruta/rio generando a nuestro paso, susurros y miradas. Fue llegar a la orilla para encontrarnos rodeados de toda la aldea. Una aldea que no tendria mas de 200 habitantes y por la cual dudo que haya parado alguna vez algun turista, eramo como fantasmas o bichos raros de un circo! estabamos rodeados de todos los 200 habitantes y posiblemente algunos de aldeas aledanias!! Volvimos al omnibus pensando que no habia sido una buena idea! Y no lo habia sido, en 2 minutos todo el bus estaba rodeado, gente subida arriba del bondi para vernos mejor! Los ninios es normal, pero los adultos, hombres mayores mirandonos fijo, cada movimiento....intenso es poco! Por suerte nuestros amigos del bus se tomaron a pecho la tarea de "defendernos", uno se bajo al costado de nuestra ventanilla espantando a los curiosos mientras otro les cubria la entrada para que no se subieran al bus....a esta altura ya estabamos hace 5 horas en la ruta. Finalemente el chofer se dio cuenta que el agua no iba a bajar (yo no soy ninguna experta pero cualquiera podia darse cuenta que semejante caudal no iba a darnos paso!), asique decidio dar la vuelta y buscar una ruta alternativa. Ya de noche emprendimos la nueva mision de encontrar el camino, con el bus repleto a mas no poder, lleno de personas que buscaban desesperadamente una salida! Tras varias vuelta el chofer, decidido a llegar a Junaghad, parecia haber encontrado el camino, tras 8 horas y media de viaje llegamos a destino.&lt;br /&gt;Agotados, hicimos el check in en el "Relief Hotel", hotel alivio, nunca un mejor nombre! Ya estaba, era un nuevo dia! Nos despertamos y descartamos nuestro plan original de escalar Mount Guirnar, otro sitio sagrado para el cual habia que escalar 10.000 escalones, 4.000 habian sido suficiente! Igualemente habia en la ciudad un antiguo fuerte que valia la pena recorrer. Salimos del hotel, con el auspicio del Sr. Sorathia que nos hizo un check in profesional y lleno de informacion, ademas que nos trato como si fueramos familia. Caminando por la ciudad, en una de esas vueltas inesperadas, nos topamos con un festival/procesion con motivo del nacimiento de uno de los dioses. La mitad de la ciudad participando en carruajes y camiones con tambores y &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb8usdfWBI/AAAAAAAAASQ/ejF14UstS1c/s1600-h/Picture+190.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221638697121699858" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb8usdfWBI/AAAAAAAAASQ/ejF14UstS1c/s320/Picture+190.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;bailarines. Nosotros mirando a un costado, tratando de pasar desapercibidos...duro poco! Ni bien nos vieron nos hicieron participar de lleno, bailando en el medio y encabezando el desfile, nos presentaron a uno de los miembros del parlamanto de la ciudad y nos inviataron a cenar al templo esa noche. Como ya veniamos un poco saturados de tanta atencion, amablemente rechazamos la oferta acusando que nos ibamos esa misma noche, no qurian tomar un no como respuesta. Tanto asi fue que luego de lograr que nos dieran la direccion del templo y de prometerles que hariamos lo posible, el Sr. Kirk, con quien habiamos estado hablando, se despidio pero no sin antes enviar con nosotros a ver el fuerte a un pequenio ejercito de ninios para que nos vigilaran. Igualmente fue facil deshacernos de ellos porque los nenes entienden cuando les decis que queres estar solo, los adultos no tanto! Caminamos por el fuerte...tranquilos....aunque con la sospecha que estabamos siendo observados, y nuestras sospechas no eran infundadas! Al poco tiempo aparecio en fuerte el Sr. Kirk!!!! Claramente decepcionado por la actuacion de sus espias nos vino a buscar el mismo!!!! ya era acoso! Brad al borde de perder la paciencia, junto toda la diplomacia que tenia en su ser y le dijo que queriamos estar solos y que no queriamos compania, tuvimos que escaparnos, literalmente! Una locura!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb9w_xmhYI/AAAAAAAAASY/zdqNn577wJc/s1600-h/Picture+184.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221639836177696130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb9w_xmhYI/AAAAAAAAASY/zdqNn577wJc/s320/Picture+184.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Volvimos al hotel, un poco estresados y con ganas de no ver a nadie mas, por suerte el Sr. Sorathia nos recibio como siempre con una sonrisa y nos aseguro no nos iban a seguir al hotel!! La fama no nos sienta bien!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Nuestro escape de Junaghad fue exitoso y tras un viaje de omnibus durmiendo en un coche cama, pero cama cama, con compartimiento y todo dormimos estirados! Llegamos a Udaipur! otra cosa, tranquilidad, carne, alcohol y muchos turistas! un poco lo que necesitabamos a esta altura del viaje!!&lt;br /&gt;Un abrazo y escribiremos antes de irnos de Udaipur!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-4471968119417111826?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/4471968119417111826/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=4471968119417111826' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/4471968119417111826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/4471968119417111826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/07/palitana-y-la-jungla-de-junaghad.html' title='Palitana y la &quot;Jungla&quot; de Junaghad'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SHb7VMjQLHI/AAAAAAAAASI/yoU6KNx2q2s/s72-c/Picture+163.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-1829951203017196034</id><published>2008-07-07T04:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-07T05:26:05.629-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ahmedabad, Palitana &amp; the escape from Junagadh!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Any state which does not liscence the sale of alcohol is always going to appear strange to a Westerner....especially as its possible to obtain an 'alcohol permit' &amp;amp; have nowhere to use it. However this was the least of our worries over the past week....&amp;amp; I dare not even go into the amount of cows roaming the streets begging for pasture &amp;amp; an afterlife of rump &amp;amp; rib-eye!!! (its a vegetarian state too)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It was all going so well as we departed Mumbai for the state of Gujarat....Ahmedabad being our 1st stop. The train journey turned out to be an anticlimax.....clean, beds, organised &amp;amp; no overcrowding....although the rifle armedguards added a little spice. And so upon arrival started our love-hate relationship with the state. Ahmedabad started well.....as we battled passed rickshaws, scooters, cows, camels &amp;amp; goats to stumble upon the Old City, with numerous temples &amp;amp; baolis....the Swaminarayan Temple being the most majestic &amp;amp; a kind hearted tour by a 70 year old Mr R Modi...good work sir. On the other side of town we were fortunate to observe a service at the Jama Masjid mosque....interesting. This city also hosts Sabarmti Ashram....home to Ghandi from 1918-30. However and even with all its tranquility &amp;amp; spiritualness the hectic streets &amp;amp; horn honking got to us bringing the 1st signs of egginess in the camp.....best we moved on before they boiled over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A short 5 hour bus ride South brought us to Palitana &amp;amp; a rainsoaked barefoot 3751 step hill climb to Shatrunjaya....1 of Jainisms holiest pilgrimage sites. The rain allowed us to view, almost alone, no more than 863 temples, including the magical Shri Adishwara. This part we loved, however being the only tourists we fell foul to a barage of repetitive questions and staring (mostly towards Martina) &amp;amp; anyone visitng Gujarat should be prepared for; groups of staring men, people standing in your face...then "which country are you? whats your name?....more staring &amp;amp; then off they go before the next group arrives. I am now an adopted Argie seeing how the 1st response to English brought the response "what the hell did you do to our country &amp;amp; whats the deal with your govt!!!!!" Fear not as luck is on my side &amp;amp; the humidity is allowing my hair to develop &amp;amp; curl into a highly respectable Mario Kempes number.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1 day was enough so "an easy" day we thought travelling 150km West to Junagadh. 4 hours waiting for the local bus.....more staring &amp;amp; questions of course.....got us well into the mood. So the bus arrives &amp;amp; in true Indian fashion its rammed!!!....on we squeezed &amp;amp; took refuge in the aisle for the 1st hours or so. My anger almost turned to hatred as Martina decided to share out my sacred Dairy Milk with fellow passengers (all natives), howver its was a stroke of genius as they in turn brought out their newspaper wrapped packed lunches &amp;amp; duly shared them with us. So finally 2 seats...&amp;amp; together...but shit, a roadblock, flooded road!!!! Lets get out and have a look....bad move....as we truned to return to the bus we became surrounded by up to 250 adults &amp;amp; children from the community we were hauled up in. In movie star style we returned to the bus...."we'll be safe there"....no chance. As they followed in Pied Piper fashion the bus became a sea of inquisitive Indians trying to catch a glimps of the albino monkeys. 5 minutes of this was fun but having to ask people to kindly stop filming and capturing photos of us became slightly overwhelming. As always there was a 'ray of sunshine' &amp;amp; a kind hearted c60 year old chap took it upon himself to guard the bus &amp;amp; fend off our hoards of new found admiriers. I now know how Sheriff Bart must hve felt on his 1st day at Rockridge....&amp;amp; we too had our very own Wako Kid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Anyhow 8 hours later &amp;amp; well fed &amp;amp; we arrive in the jungle of Junagadh.....this they say is a perfect spot for aimless meandering.....which to start with was just that. Beautiful town, happy friendly people &amp;amp; a 10,000 step climb to Girnar Hill.....which we declined....best left for the likes of Ghandi &amp;amp; Moses. A wander round the town &amp;amp; up to Uperkot Fort &amp;amp; 2nd C. AD Bhuddist Caves. En route we found a procession for the birthday of some mad Jainism god....which we then found ourselves taking part in....drums, dancing, sword swinging, the lot....a great experience.  Time to slide off &amp;amp; find some peace.....but, were we being followed....indeed we were.....as the procession chairman begged, pleaded, waited &amp;amp; harassed us to join for the evening party...all we wanted was an afternoon to ourselves....so upon finding a few back roads Mr Sorathia @ Relief Hotel was waiting for us. Interested in our day he then informed us that "the whole town is aware you are here &amp;amp; staying in my hotel"....off to the room we went &amp;amp; stayed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now having escaped &amp;amp; still surving away from our fanclub &amp;amp; the excessively spiced up food (which became as repetitive as the questioning), 15 hours on an impressive sleeper bus brought to the current destination....Udaipur in Rajasthan.....booze!!....meat!!!.....&amp;amp; too many white faces to look at!!!!....you can never have it all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Health wise I am still waiting in anticipation for the lower atomic explosion....but not for a few scares.....Martina has been less fortunate but maybe she is unaware of my ability to converse in the local tongue in order for her food to be overly spiced up. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;These stories may well be bending a little either side of the truth.....there are no complaints &amp;amp; its all good fun after all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tata.

Ya empezamos nuestro camino al norte, aunque los destinos a los que iremos estan todavia por definirse! El viaje desde Mumbai a Ahmedabad de 8 horas en tren fue mejor de lo esperado. Habiamos sacado la clase mas barata con lo cual no le tenia mucha fe, y MENOS cuando llegue a la terminal y vi el tren! Entre la  cantidad de gente, los bolsos y los animales, no pense que ibamos a entrar en el vagon de segunda clase....por suerte, me habia equivocado de asiento! Nuestro vagon estaba mas adelante, una cabina abierta con  6 pasajeros y los asientos se hacian cama, tres a cada lado y aunque no tenian aire acondicionado tenian unos ventiladores potentes sobre nuestras cabezas asique el viaje fue un lujo! Nunca primera!! viajar en tren asi es un negocion! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Ya de camino a Ahmedabad pudimos sentir la calidez de su gente, los locales en el tren se interesaban por nosotros y hasta nos daban consejos sobre que visitar. Brad decidio decir que es de Argentina, ya que ser ingles aca no garpa, siempre que nos preguntaban era "where are you from?" "Argentina" "aaaah beautiful..." seguido por la pregunta a el "and you?" "england",   y bueno...." why did your country do that to us..." asique desde ahi,  adopto la nacionalidad!!! Otra particularidad,  todos nos quiren casar, a toda costa. En la estacion de tren de Mumbai un profesor de escuela que viajaba con su familia y se intereso en nosotros, nos preguntaba porque no estabamos casados, que estabamos esperando y se despidio diciendo "Ruego a dios que un dia se casen"....eeemmmm.....bueno.....si otro tema!   Aca en la India es incomprensible que estemos viajando juntos si estar casados, mas a nuestra edad, yo ya deberia tener 2 hijos a esta altura! en fin!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Llegamos a Ahmedabad a las 7 de la maniana y tras negociar el precio nos subimos a nuestro primer Rickshaw. Si creiamos que el transito en Mumbai era caotico, claramente no habiamos estado aca! La obsesion por tocar bocina asi no hubiera nadie en la calle es incomprensible (habia un cartel que decia "adictos a la bocina....tratese!" y si  es un problema!  llegamos a nuestro Hotel, y antes que me tilden de burguesa y que abandone mis raices de backpacker hostelera, sepan que  NO  HAY HOSTELS! no los vemos, no los encontramos! morimos por tener una cocinar  y cocinar y charlar con otros viajantes, pero aun no hemos tenido la suerte! asique nos quedamos en hoteles! Nuestro hotel ahora sale 12 US la noche una doble grande con  banio privado, aire acondicionado, tele con cable y telefono....asique bueno un poco me aburguese, pero aca garpa! Ese primer dia despues de una siesta necesaria salimos a ver la ciudad, aun con mas temores que cuando salimos en mumbai, pero como ya nos paso antes, fue caminar dos pasos, evitar 4 autos, 6 rickshaws e incontables motos, para sentirnos comodos de nuevo. Recorrimos callecitas intrincadas por la ciudad vieja,  entramos a templos y mezquitas y tuvimos una experiencia hermosa en el templo de Swaminarayan, donde al entrar nos encontramos con el Sr. Modi, un indio de 74 anios,  jubilado, que nos llevo a recorrer este enorme complejo de templos. Nos llevo por cada uno de los sectores, contandonos la historia del lugar, los ritos, los distintos dioses, me llevo al altar de Shiva (el dios al que le rezan las muchachas solteras para casarse....porque el tambien, nos queria casar) me ensenio como rezarle y hasta tocar dos veces la campana del templo. Nos sentamos en unas escalinatas donde me dio Biri para fumar, un cigarrillo chiquito hecho con una hoja de biri y relleno de la misma hoja  y un poco de tabaco, yo ni pregunte y acepte. Los hombres se congregaron al rededor nuestro para verme fumar, era la gran  atraccion ya que no estan acostumbrados a ver mujeres fumar. Despues de recorrer los templos, rodeados de silencio salvo por el ruido de las campanas, era dificil pensar que a dos calles estaba ese mar de autos, motos y ruido mucho ruido....Fue una experiencia increible que tuvimos la suerte de vivir. De camino al hotel, paramos por la Mezquita de Jama Masjid. Una mezquita enorme donde se estaban preparando para la oracion, nos quedamos a ver y despues a cenar y a la cama!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Hoy nos despertamos y salimos camino al Ashram donde  Gandhi paso gran parte de su vida adulta y desde donde emprendio la marca de 231 millas por el impuesto a la sal. Pudimos ver donde vivio, la rueda con la que hilaba increible haber estado en el mismo lugar. Despues de salir y frustrarnos en la busqueda de un mercado (y frustrarnos el uno del otro...el calor nos agobio!) volvimos a nuestra zona para conectarnos un poco con nuestro mundo....a veces es necesario!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;La gente de Ahmedabad merece un comentario aparte. Todos nos saludan  y se presentan y nos invitan a sus casas, posan para las fotos ("pilim") y les encanta verse! Las mujeres son hermosas y los hombres, miran bastante, pero son muy generosos y no dudan en ayudarnos cuando nos ven perdidos. En fin tuvimos dos dias en Ahmedabad movidos pero lindos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Maniana la idea es tomarnos un omnibus hacia Palitana, a 5 horas sur de aca, donde se encuentra uno de los lugares mas sagrados para el Jainismo (no se si escribe asi en espaniol!) ,  al parecer hay una colina con cientos de templos diseminados, si hay una colina y verde sere feliz!! y si no hay una bocina...bue....ni hablar!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Los queremos!!!! y gracias por los comentarios y buena ondaaaa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;hasta la proxima!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-8226653773749290270?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/8226653773749290270/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=8226653773749290270' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/8226653773749290270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/8226653773749290270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/07/ahmedabad.html' title='Ahmedabad!!'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-4165777847413843071</id><published>2008-06-29T02:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-29T03:34:37.858-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mumbai Madness</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So finally the English version arrives for all those single lingual readers back home. After being lured into the world of Facebook and MSN.....the latter there are no comlplaints about....I have eventually succumbed to the "blogging" community. Here we go then, as a man of often few words I will keep this short and to the point. Its been 5 days in Mumbai (Bombay for the less educated folk) and some hectic ones at that. After managing to smuggle a stray banana past the Indian customs we decided to lay low for the 1st afternoon cowering in our deluxe air conditioned room eagerly awaiting the call from the officers. When this did not arrive we managed to pluck up the courage to venture into the wild city night to be somewhat surprised by the ease of fitting in and friendliness of the locals.....although Martina's latin skin may be confusing them a little!! Mumbai is beautiful, charming, sometimes frustrating, colourful and smelly all at the same time. The taxi ride from the airport whisked us through some lively slums and markets with smells ranging from pee to paprika to pooh to paneer (look it up) and an array of colours to rival a technicoloured dreamcoat.. So what have we done......wandered the Colaba Market at night, took in a hearing at the High Court, stuffed plenty of the stupidly cheap local delights, Bhel Puri's and Pakoda's, into our ever anxious bellies.....which have so far held out (slightly disappointing, but a long way to go yet), dodged taxis, goats, cows, bicycles to cross the hectic highways, visited the sacred sight of Bhanganga Tank and meandered around Malabar Hill, strolled along Chowpatty Beach and Marine Drive.....and all with the finest means of transport.....our own 2 feet. Have decided to move on from here to Ahmedabad tonight, an 8 hour overnight train ride North......Rs235 (US$6) and joining in our carriage shall be 75 people, 18 goats, 438 chickens and hopefully just enough room for our bags and to squeeze out some dinner extracts. Before leaving though and to make our last night here a special 1, being a Saturday, Martina and I decided to take our relationship that little bit further and go on our 1st ever cinema date.....the movie of choice "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic" (A little love, a litle magic), an unsubtitled Bollywood family movie complete with over dramatic muscial interludes. Turned out the family fun was for all the family with a Mary Poppinsesque script becoming a touch raunchy for the elder viewers....worth a watch if you can get hold of a good pirate copy. The night was made all the more special by the fact that Indian cinemas are open for blatant piracy, mobile conversations, general chat and as was the case next to lucky me.....stinky nappy changing!!!.....all worth the 90 pence cover charge.  So there you go.....Mumbai......magical, mysterious, muggy and mad. Until the next time.

Nuestra estadia en Mumbai esta llegando a su fin, ya tenemos nuestro pasaje en tren hacia Ahmedabad, la capital de la provincia de Gujarat al norte de Maharastra donde estamos ahora. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Mumbai fue una locura, pero dentro del caos encontramos un ritmo. La ciudad se presta para recorrerla caminando asique el jueves nos dispusimos a hacer eso! Caminamos por la calle Mahatma Gandhi viendo los edificios imponentes que estan a cada lado, el Instituto de Ciencia, el Museo del Principe de Gales (ahora llamado Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sagrahalaya....a que no se lo memorizan! jajaja), Floral Fountain, Town Hall, Horniman Circle, en fin uno mas lindo que el otro, pero todos venidos a menos, aunque se veian trabajos de refaccion en marcha. Caminamos desde el Fuerte, donde nos estabamos quedando, hasta Colaba, la parte sur de Mumbai. Cenamos nuestra primer cena india, Thalis del sudeste para mi y Masala de hongos para el, todo en Laxmi Vila, mi nuevo lugar preferido para comer! Y de entrada Pakoda de queso ( un queso riquisimo hecho milanesa!), Somosas, Naan, Masala Dosa....todo todo que rico! La mayoria de las veces no se ni lo que pido, miro el menu y elijo por el nombre pero ni idea...hasta ahora no me desilusione! La ciudad a pesar de todo el caos que presenta, se siente y es segura, caminamos todos los dias de regreso al hotel por calles...sospechosas, y seguimos aca para contarlo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;El viernes caminamos caminamos y caminamos!! Fuimos a recorrer la parte norte de la ciudad, caminando primero hasta la Suprema Corte, pudimos entrar y ver como se llevaba a cabo un juicio, despues pasamos por la Universidad de Mumbai, un edificio enorme y lindisimo y visitamos la Biblioteca David Sasoon que tiene una terraza arriba con sillas para sentarse y leer. Seguimos nuestro recorrido hasta Marine Drive que queda a orillas de Back Bay, separado por una peninsula del Mar Arabigo. Desde ahi nos tomamos un taxi que tras regatear nos salio 50 Rupias (1 dolar mas o menos) que nos llevo 4 kilometros al norte hasta Banganga Tank, un lugar sagrado y de oracion. El taxi nos deposito en el medio de un barrio, donde no habia ni un turista ( no vimos muchos tampoco en la ciudad) y donde empezamos a caminar sin rumbo por las mil y un callecitas que se abrian paso ante nosotros. Ahi nos encontramos con el estanque de Banganga, un lugar sagrado y de oracion, donde tuvimos la suerte de ver sentados desde las escaleras como bautizaban a un bebe mientras lo sumergian en el agua. Seguimos caminando, entrando en los templos hablando con la gente que se deshacia de amabilidad ( y no, no nos pedian plata, solo estaban interesados en saber de donde eramos y nos daban a sus bebes para cargar). Seguimos caminando por la parte norte hasta Malabar Hill, un lugar con casas mas grandes y elegantes aunque afuera el caos era el mismo. Seguimos nuestro paso y visitamos el Parque Kamala Nehru y Hanging Gardens, por suerte no llovio asique pudimos recorrerlos de punta a punta. Bajando por unas escaleras que nos llevaron por dentro de unos barrios muy humildes, llegamos hasta Chowpatty Beach, una playa que es punto central donde se juntan familias y jovenes. Por la zona hay restaurantes y bares (segun la guia yo no los vi!) pero si vimos un mercado de comida donde probamos &lt;em&gt;Bhelpuri&lt;/em&gt;, una comida tipica, de arroz inflado y fideos fritos (muy picantes!) , nos sentamos en la orilla del agua y comimos mirando a la gente que pasaba, vendiendo te, globos gigantes y choclos. Caminamos desde ahi hasta nuestro hotel, en total habremos recorrido 8 km ese dia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Ayer entonces fuimos a comprar nuestros pasajes a la estacion de tren de mumbai, Victoria Terminus, la mas grande de Asia, enoooorme y caotica, pero por suerte dedican una ventanilla solo a la venta de pasajes para turistas! genial! Compramos nuestros pasajes, nos decidimos por la clase mas barata de sleeper cart, sin aire acondicionado y con capacidad para 6 pasajeros por 235 Rupias (mas o menos 5 dolares), decidimos arriesgarnos esta vuelta y ver como es, siempre hay tiempo de hacer un upgrade! Contentos de tener nuestro ticket decidimos ir a ver una pelicula ya que estamos en la capital de la industria de Bollywood, asique fuimos al Regal a sacar entradas para "Thoda Pyraa Thoda Magic" una historia de amor entre un angel que es enviado a cuidar de 4 huerfanos y se enamora del padre! No tenia subtitulos pero la historia no era tan complicada! Obvio tenia mucha musica y baile! estuvo buenisimo! y el cine increible! una especie de teatro antiguo, antes de empezar la pelicula pasaron el himno y todos nos paramos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;De regreso al hotel, nos perdimos en una de las callecitas y terminamos adentro de un mercado de comida con frutas, verduras, pescados frescos siendo descuartizados entre las moscas, cabras que salian de las casas, vacas que dormia en las calles, roedores varios, mucha gente y mucho moviemiento...y puestos de comida....donde nos animamos a comer una especia de bunuelos, muy ricos hay que decirlo (y mi panza sigue bien!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Asiq aqui estamos, ya haciendo nuestra ultima entrada desde Mumbai y casi en camino hacia Ahmedabad, donde vamos despues? no lo sabemos, dependera del clima y de la suerte....El resumen de esta ciudad....todavia no lo puedo hacer, fueron 5 dias llenos de contrastes. Mucha informacion para ser procesada en tan poco tiempo. Es una ciudad con un ritmo agobiante que sin embargo cambia en 5 minutos del caos al silencio, de la miseria a la paz de un santuario....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Es todo desde aca!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Un beso desde aca!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-3344034611206273194?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/3344034611206273194/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=3344034611206273194' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/3344034611206273194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/3344034611206273194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/06/hola-todos-como-veran-ya-el-blog-es.html' title='Mumbai'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-9169935414774651829</id><published>2008-06-26T06:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T07:05:43.812-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Finally India!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Holaaaaa!!!! Saludos desde Mumbai!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Si si estamos en Mumbai! Y lo escribo, lo huelo, lo veo y lo siento con los 5 sentidos y todavia no caigo donde estoy! Llegamos despues de un buen vuelvo con BA, nos dormimos todo el viaje y yo soniaba que teniamos que hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia, por suerte me desperte y me estaban sirviendo el desayuno y avisando que en 1 hora aterrizariamos en Mumbai! Llegamos al aeropuerto, sin problemas, pero con MUCHA lluvia! Cambiamos plata y fuimos a contratar un taxi para que nos llevara a nuestro hotel. El Taxi salia RS380 aprox 7 dolares, sin aire acondicionado (podiamos pedir con pero decidi sin, ya que estabamos ahi mejor acostumbrarnos!) cuando nos subimos al taxi paro de llover, es como lluvia tropical, llueve mucho 5 minutos y despues nada! El viaje al hotel duro 1 hora y media, el transito UN CAOS!!! TODOS tocando bocina, parecia una competencia! bicis, omnibus gente por todos lados, vacas, rikshaws, todo todo todo lo que uno se pueda imaginar y MAS en las calles de Mumbai! Mientras yo medio cabeceaba en el taxi nos acercabamos a la zona del Fort donde esta nuestro hotel (Hotel Oasis hab 208, mami si llamas pedi por esa habitacion a la noche tipo 11 estamos siempre!) el hotel, lindo con mucho personal, pero parece que aca todo es asi, en los restaurants, uno te abre la puerta otro te toma el pedido, otro te trae la cerveza, otro te la abre y otro te la sirve!! Muuuuuucho staff! en el hotel igual! la habitacion linda chiquita pero con aire, banio privado tele con cable! (se mueren pasan La Lola en indio! casi me muero!). El primer dia llegamos a las 2 de la tarde al hotel, y nos tiramos a dormir una siesta, estabamos los dos muertos. Cuando nos despertamos, tengo que admitir que los dos estabamos nerviosos por salir del hotel, despues de lo que habiamos visto por la ventana del taxi...el miedo era infundado. Una vez en la calle caminando las cosas tomaron otro color, olores tan distintos, algunos agradables otros no. El olor a humedad, calor y comida, junto con fluidos corporales y curry, una mezcla....interesante. Caminamos hasta un restaurant donde comimos (hoy a la noche vamos a comer comida india posta ayer no nos animamos...) y despues caminamos hasta nuestro hotel.&lt;br /&gt;Hoy nos levantamos a las 3 si si vagos pero estamos con cambio de horario son 4 horas mas que UK y 8:30 mas que argentina! pero aprovechamos el dia, caminamos hasta Colaba la punta sur de Mumbai, fuimos al Gateway of India pero lo estan remodelando asique no pudimos apreciarlo del todo. El clima, calor calor humedo pero bancable, nada que no se pudiera soportar si va a estar asi todo el tiempo esta super bien!! Mientras Brad me espera afuera yo les mando noticias desde aca...es recien el primer dia entero que estamos aca, y ya me siento en casa! la ciudad con todo su caos no intimida, con toda su mezcla de olores, sabores y colores, Mumbai es una ciudad de locos....pero increible!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Saludos para todos y estamos juntos!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-9169935414774651829?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/9169935414774651829/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=9169935414774651829' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/9169935414774651829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/9169935414774651829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/06/finally-india.html' title='Finally India!!!'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-1045628723028203633</id><published>2008-06-23T12:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T20:21:40.130-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Fotos de CPH</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SGAO1Ovl3DI/AAAAAAAAAMc/DmLfkOFAZS8/s1600-h/113.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215184676148599858" style="DISPLAY: block;

Brad vivio ahi 4 anios asique tiene la mayoria de sus amigos que siguen ahi, un grupo de amigos super lindo, de todos lados, franceses, daneses, irlandeses, un poco de todo!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5WaxojaMI/AAAAAAAAAH8/8OTYuiZicmg/s1600-h/065.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214700436541630658" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5WaxojaMI/AAAAAAAAAH8/8OTYuiZicmg/s320/065.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Llegamos el martes y nos tomamos el metro, que en dinamarca es super raro porque no tiene conductor, se maneja todo por computadora, entonces cuando te sentas en frente de la primer ventana parece que estuvieras en una montania rusa porque solo se ven los rieles!! Llegamos a Islands Brygge donde vive Maria Langore y Damian McNamara, dos amigos suyos, ella danesa el irlandes que viven ahi hace 5 anios. A ellos ya los habia conocido en Cape Town cuando estuve alla asique buenisimo! Tienen un departamento muy copado casi casi con vista al canal. Teniamos otra vez el cuarto mas grande de la casa y ellos unos divinos como nos recibieron! Ni bien llegamos nos pusimos las pilas para conseguir las bicis que ibamos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5yYpUF6VI/AAAAAAAAAIE/a_U_MSODCiU/s1600-h/066.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214731186274167122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5yYpUF6VI/AAAAAAAAAIE/a_U_MSODCiU/s200/066.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt; a necesitar mientras estabamos ahi, resulta que la mia estaba pinchada, asique entre los cuatro como pudimos la arreglamos...aunque duro poco y la llevamos con los profesionales! Esa noche fuimos a comer a Sushitarian, un restaurant de sushi en el centro donde trabaja Sylvain, uno de los mejores amigos de Brad y un divino total y buen mozo asique ya le hable de todas mis amigas en cualquier momento lo tenemos por Buenos Aires! El sushi increible no paraba de traer comida y cerveza el es el manager asique no tuvimos que pagar un peso. Como Brad, la mayoria de sus amigos tienen o restaurants o bares o cafes o algo relacionado &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5zaz_CPtI/AAAAAAAAAIM/6X6RR5rkCmg/s1600-h/135.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214732323010002642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5zaz_CPtI/AAAAAAAAAIM/6X6RR5rkCmg/s200/135.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;asique comiamos y tomabamos gratis en casi todos los&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF50I2NICuI/AAAAAAAAAIU/DJFWMmgSuq8/s1600-h/138.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214733113879956194" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF50I2NICuI/AAAAAAAAAIU/DJFWMmgSuq8/s200/138.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt; lugares. El miercoles nos despertamos y salimos a recorrer la ciudad a pata porque mi bici aun no estaba en estado, copenaghe es una ciudad chiquita asique se puede caminar tranquilamente. Caminamos desde Islands Brygge hasta Kastelet la zona de los castillos, Ameliaborg hasta la little mermaid, una escultura de una sirena que fue mutilada dos veces desde que la pusieron (le cortaron la cabeza pobre!) y ahora estaba completa otra vez, igualmente la segunda vez que pasamos por ahi le habian tirado pintura blanca, no se porque tanta bronca contra la pobre sirenita! Fuimos caminando hasta Marble Church, una iglesia enoooorme y hecha de marmol, imponente! A la noche cocinamos en el departamento como casi todas las noches, Maria cocina barbaro y entre las dos Brad y Damian no tenian motivos para quejarse. El jueves estuvo buenisimo, ya con nuestras bicis salimos Brad, Sylvain y yo a Christiania. Christiania es &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_t7E0vE-I/AAAAAAAAAIc/6ehafIOLSRU/s1600-h/167.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215148492681319394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_t7E0vE-I/AAAAAAAAAIc/6ehafIOLSRU/s320/167.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;una especie de "Estado Libre" dentro de la ciudad de Copenaghe donde se radicaron muchos hippies en los 60's y 70's, asique ahi se podia comprar y consumir cualquier sustancia natural ilegal sin problemas. Hoy por hoy no lo pueden vender en sus pequenios puestos como tenian antes pero igual siguen estando....un poquito mas escondidos. El lugar es super hippie y recondito y no se puede sacar fotos adentro...una lastima porque esta buenisimo! En fin hicimos nuestro recorrido, hicimos algunas compras y seguimos andando &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_unMxdrwI/AAAAAAAAAIk/rAlTAneAsJE/s1600-h/161.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215149250729324290" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_unMxdrwI/AAAAAAAAAIk/rAlTAneAsJE/s200/161.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;en bici por la ciudad. Era la primera vez que andaba con la bici por la ciudad, y no es como manejar por los bosques de palermo, es como manejar un auto, con luces especiales, tenes que senializar cada vez que que queres doblar, carril rapido y lento, como yo no NO manejo no me acostumbraba a andar mirando para todos lados....mi primer dia sali ilesa y asi lo hicieron tambien los transeuntes que tuvieron la buena fortuna de cruzarse conmigo!!!! (ya para el final era pro pro!) Despues de todo un dia andando en bici nos fuimos de vuelta al departamento los tres y nos reencontramos con McEar (damo y maria), cocinamos una cena enorme y preparamos una torta de chocolate riquiiiiiisima con las compras que habiamos hecho en Christiania...creo que a todos nos cayo un poco "pesada".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215156255378076706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_0-7H3dCI/AAAAAAAAAJE/DAKOwCnaRkU/s320/175.JPG" border="0" /&gt;El viernes fue un dia diferente.

El jueves en el furor de la torta de chocolate me pregunto si queria bailar al dia siguiente en el carnaval....mmm.....porque no!! asiq el viernes me fui con ella a este pueblo a vestirme de bahiana y encabezar un carnaval de samba en danes! un lime es poco! La verdad que fue super divertido, eramos una chica y yo encabezando el carnaval caminando por una peatonal sonriendo y girando adentro de un vestido blanco y dorado con un monio dorado en la cabeza! jaja si me decian que iba a estar ahi no me lo creia!! De vuelta en CPH nos fuimos con las bicis a tomar algo y despues a la cama....tantas vueltas te agotan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;El sabado por la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_zTOXo6xI/AAAAAAAAAI8/R9PzVl0Vwgo/s1600-h/229.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215154405118634770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_zTOXo6xI/AAAAAAAAAI8/R9PzVl0Vwgo/s200/229.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;maniana mientras los chicos se iban a jugar al futbol, Maria y yo nos fuimos con las bicis a andar por el Canal hasta un cafe muy mono en la orilla donde nos encontramos con la Colo! una amiga danesa divina que conoci por intermedio de MI amigo personal Gonzalo Rivers. Una divina y buenisimo verla, quien me iba a decir que tenia amigos en CPH! Nos quedamos charlando hasta la tarde que volvieron los&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_7z3jsP9I/AAAAAAAAAJc/yXnDgyq4Hrw/s1600-h/231.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215163762023874514" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_7z3jsP9I/AAAAAAAAAJc/yXnDgyq4Hrw/s200/231.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt; chicos y nos fuimos de nuevo al depto...era sabado a la noche y nos teniamos que preparar para salir! Despues de comer (delivery, no daba para cocinar!) nos fuimos a encontrar con Sylvain en Ideal Bar, nos tomamos unas cervezas y despues derecho al boliche (Vega) que quedaba....al lado! Que noche! Toco Trentemoller un dj danes, eso que yo no entiendo mucho de musica electronica pero estuvo bue-ni-si-mo! Lastima que no lleve la camara....o mejor que no la lleve, como fuera esas fotos jamas entrarian en el blog, estabamos impresentables! pero que divertido! Volvimos a la casa a las 7 de la maniana y no nos fuimos a la cama hasta las 9...una gran noche. El domingo no hace falta decirlo fue inexistente, como las momias del british museum, nos despertamos a las 7:30 de la tarde, cocinamos, miramos unas pelis y a dormir otra vez, estabamos en estado vegetativo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_3HwZ-oVI/AAAAAAAAAJM/EktzWeJCL3w/s1600-h/269.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215158606143332690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_3HwZ-oVI/AAAAAAAAAJM/EktzWeJCL3w/s320/269.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;El lunes llovio, llovio un poco mientras estuvimos pero solo un ratito y despues paraba asique nos quedamos mirando una pelicula y salimos un rato a andar en bici mientras el dia aguantaba cuando se largo de nuevo ya nos retiramos a la cucha! El martes por la maniana salimos con Brad a hacer un tour del canal con un barquito. El dia estaba lindo y el sol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_4CsFSQtI/AAAAAAAAAJU/6fit7ucEilk/s1600-h/287.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215159618595078866" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_4CsFSQtI/AAAAAAAAAJU/6fit7ucEilk/s200/287.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt; brillaba! Por la tarde nos fuimos a Tivoli que es un parque de diversiones el mas centrico de Europa, super lindo. Hay obras de teatro y ballet al aire libre y pescados como los del jardin japones...nos divertimos barato tirando comida a los peces cerca de unos barquitos que manejaban unos ninios....las gaviotas los atacaban para sacarle la comida...a nosotros nos parecia genial...los ninios no estaban muy contentos. A la noche Damon nos cocino su famosa Pasta Carbonara tomamos unas botellas de vino y nos quedamos charlando en el departamento. El miercoles por la maniana fue un dia tranqui, fuimos a Our Saviors church (la que se ve en la foto) pero estaba cerrado porque lo estaban arreglando por adentro, generalmente se puede subir hasta la parte mas alta. Anduvimos con nuestras bicis por la ciudad y nos fuimos a Round Tower, desde donde se ve toda la ciudad. Nuestra ultima noche salimos a tomar algo a un bar que en verdad es un barco que flota sobre el canal, la parte de arriba, la cubierta es un bar y la parte de abajo es un teatro esta buenisimo! Nos encontramos ahi con muchos amigos de Brad de sus antiguos trabajos, la pasamos increible, cuando cerraron ahi nos fuimos a otro bar donde nos quedamos hasta las 5. Manejar las bicis hasta nuestra casa en el estado que estabamos fue lo mas divertido (tranqui papi no habia nadie en las calles a esa hora asiq no habia con que darmela!) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215165245359505010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF_9KNadvnI/AAAAAAAAAJk/8Sdc4OfS6G4/s320/325.JPG" border="0" /&gt;Y asi pasaron nuestro dias en CPH, una ciudad hermosa, llena de vida (en verano no me quiero imaginar el frio que hace en invieron) andando en bici por todos lados, conociendo gente nueva y reencontrandome con viejos amigos...un exito!!

Empecemos por el principio. Despues de haber trabajado en el pub por unas semanas los dos dejamos de trabajar y nos fuimos "de vacaciones". Estuvimos cuatro dias en londres y 10 dias en Dinamarca en Copenaghe, una ciudad hermosa! Pero vamos por partes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;En Londres hicimos vida cultural, nos quedamos en el "chateaux Dreikeron" (a.k.a la casa de sofi en londres! gracias sofiii!!) y ese mismo viernes cuando llegamos fuimos a comprar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF4-NP7-n5I/AAAAAAAAAHU/BGRFzse2Qd0/s1600-h/DSCF5325.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214673815878934418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF4-NP7-n5I/AAAAAAAAAHU/BGRFzse2Qd0/s320/DSCF5325.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt; entradas para el Fantasma de la Opera, &lt;strong&gt;INCREIBLE&lt;/strong&gt; el musical!! La puesta en escena, la musica con la orquesta en vivo, el vestuario, todo todo! El sabado hicimos vida cultural un poco diferente. Despues de ir por la maniana a Camden, donde me compre 2 camperas de cuero por £20, una ganga! Almorzamos por ahi en los puestos de comida marroqui, y despues nos fuimos camino a Wembley a ver el recital de &lt;strong&gt;Foo Fighters&lt;/strong&gt;!! Los padres de Brad nos regalaron las entradas porque como no habiamos ido al casamiento de la prima en sudafrica querian darnos algo!!! El recital estuvo increible!! Con un escenario que giraba en todas direcciones y pasarelas por donde Dave Grohl recorria el campo! Nosotros estabamos sentados en el medio desde donde veiamos todo perfecto!!! La verdad muy bueno el recital, hasta que de repente Dave Grohl anuncia una sorpresa que no era otra mas que iban a tocar en el escenario &lt;strong&gt;Jimmy Paige y John Paul Jones de LED ZEPPELIN!!&lt;/strong&gt; Tocaron junto con Foo Fighters, It's been a long time y &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5BZylTjrI/AAAAAAAAAHc/WSl1PmJpNsk/s1600-h/DSCF5344.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214677329872391858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SF5BZylTjrI/AAAAAAAAAHc/WSl1PmJpNsk/s320/DSCF5344.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Ramble On, se ve que nosotros estabamos con los mas viejos sentados porque nuestro sector se volvio loco cuando los vimos subir y todos los jovenzuelos del campo me da la sensacion que no apreciaron lo que estaban viendo!! En fin Foo Fighters increible y haber visto al 50% de Led Zeppelin tocar....bueno sin palabras!! Tardamos 2 horas en salir de Wembley pero la policia muy correcta ordenaba la situacion, practicamente eran 80.000 personas dirigiendose desde el estadio al subte! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;El domingo nos despertamos e hicimos el intento de ir a Borough Market...lastima que no nos percatamos que los domingos no abre! No importo, seguimos caminando por Londres fuimos a ver el Telectroscope, una estructura que pusieron que parece un gran telescopio donde parandote enfrente ves NY del otro lado, cuando estabamos ahi de hecho habia una madre y una hija encontrandose una desde Londres la otra desde NY....esta bueno! Caminamos hasta Hyde Park y nos quedamos aprovechando el dia! El lunes fuimos a recorrer el British Museum, a ver las momias etc, almorzamos un picnic en Russell Square y a la noche cenamos en un restaurant italiano una comida riquisima!! El Martes partimos hacia Dinamarca!!! Un nuevo pais a la Lista!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214683043907679282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;

Nos despertamos temprano y manejamos (manejo en realidad!) una hora hasta alla. Birmingham es la segunda ciudad mas grande de Inglaterra y la han mejorado mucho, por lo que me cuentan antes no era muy linda, si bien sigue siendo industrial ahora el centro esta limpio y cuidado. Es una ciudad multicultural con una gran comunidad India y Arabe. Si bien no es Londres se ve que es una ciudad grande que aspira a seguir creciendo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Despues de empezar los tramites para la visa nos dijeon que volvieramos en 3 horas para retirarla, asiq salimos a recorrer la ciudad. Brad iba todos los dias cuando trabajaba en el banco asiq conocia bien la ciudad. Fuimos al centro donde estaba el City Hall con una fuente enorme con una gran escultura de una mujer, habia mucha gente sentada en las escalinatas, gente de todos los colores, religiones y culturas. Seguimos caminando y fuimos a la catedral de Birmingham, donde habia una excursion de varios colegios, lleno de nenes de 4 a 6 anios asiq mucho ruido, muy distinto para una iglesia tan ceremoniosa muy divertido! Nos sentamos en el parque de la Iglesia, donde aca generalmente tienen un cementerio, l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SCl_eRkAXsI/AAAAAAAAAGE/cUeIFImzZyU/s1600-h/212.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199827402863173314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SCl_eRkAXsI/AAAAAAAAAGE/cUeIFImzZyU/s320/212.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;o cual es un poco raro para mi (por ejemplo en el jardin de la iglesia de bishops cleeve, por donde cruzo de noche o de dia para llegar a la casa esta el cementerio, medio raro, pero voy cantando y pensando en otra cosa!) Cuestion, que en el cementerio de esta iglesia la gente se sentaba a comer un picnic en su hora libre del trabajo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Seguimos caminando por las calles de Birmingham, en subida y en bajada, y fuimos al museo de Arte, en un edificio super lindo y con colecciones interactivas, hasta nos disfrazamos de una pareja antigua imitando una pintura en exhibicion, no nos dejaron sacar fotos! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Salimos del museo y nos fuimos caminando por la orilla del Canal, un canal enorme que va desde Birmingham hasta Worcester, cerca de donde vivimos nosotros, super lindo, por el canal solo pasan unos barcos angostos y largos donde vive gente, asiq se abre una parte del canal para que entre el agua y el barco, se cierra atras del barco y se abre la otra punta para que pase, asi sucesivamente a lo largo del canal. Hicimos un picnic a la orilla del canal y despues fuimos a buscar la visa que ya estaba lista! Ahora si ya tenemos todo listo para el viaje a la India!!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Mas fotos de Birmingham...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199828996296040146" style="DISPLAY: block;

Les escribo desde la comarca, con un dia hermoso! el sol, los pajaritos, hay ardillas corriendo por el jardin (en serio!) hable por telefono con mis amigos (tengo un sistema nuevo para hablar por internet asiq voy a ir llamando a todos uno por uno!) todo esta muy bien!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;En el trabajo esta todo bien, estoy trabajando en el pub donde esta Brad, que es super lindo y queda en Cheltenham la ciudad mas cercana a la aldea. El lugar es muy lindo, con un jardin con mesas y sombrillas, dos bares y un patio muy lindo. Pagan minimum wage, pero para alguien como yo que no tiene que pagar alquiler es mas que suficiente! con decirles que si trabajo 4 turnos mas ya recupero que lo que gaste en un mes se dan una idea. El trabajo es divertido, generalemente estoy en la barra, porque tambien sirven comida pero como todavia no se muy bien el numero de las mesas, tienen un millon de mesas, me quedo en el bar con los tragos y va otro a servirlas. La verdad que alguna de las cosas que toman son medio raras, por lo menos para mi que nunca las habia oido nombrar, "Henry" jugo de naranja y limonada, "G and T", gin and tonic pero como lo dicen ellos parece que pidieran un te, "wine spritzer" vino con soda, "Pimms and lemonade" no se lo q es todavia! pero se como servirlo! Generalmente lo que mas piden es cerveza, o sidra o Guinness (que ahora me salen divinas!). La gente que trabaja ahi es toda buena onda asique hay un lindo ambiente de trabajo, tampoco es que estoy tanto, pero lo que estoy esta bueno! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SCGpgm9GeqI/AAAAAAAAAFU/uXbpIs9pZeI/s1600-h/200.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197621822639995554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SCGpgm9GeqI/AAAAAAAAAFU/uXbpIs9pZeI/s200/200.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Esta semana en Cheltenham hubo un festival de Jazz que estuvo muy bueno, por suerte el clima acompanio asiq nos la pasamos en los parques mirando a la gente y escuchando la musica. El domingo tuvimos una banda en vivo tocando en el pub asiq estuvo lleno!! Hay de todo en las calles de cheltenham. Justo ese domingo era el Baile de fin de anio de la universidad....la moda...mmm...bueno dejaba que desear, culonterontes al por mayor, no me dio la cara para sacarle fotos! si le pude sacar a una seniora, muy monona con su cerveza y su patineta jajajaja es genial!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Ayer que el dia estaba re lindo y no trabajabamos nos fuimos con Brad a Upton, un pueblo que queda cerca de Cleeve donde hay un rio, asiq llevamos un picnic y comimos por ahi, tomamos sol, descansamos, no hicimos nada! mas que darle de comer a unos cisnes asesinos que nos querian comer los dedos no mucho mas! Cuando llegamos a la casa a la noche hicimos un asadito aprovechando que el dia estaba lindo, no se comparan con los de alla obvio, pero brad se defendio bien! tiene potencial asador! Hoy que el dia esta tan lindo capaz haya laburo en el pub asiq vaya a laburar! ojala ahora quiero mas £! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Bueno los dejo por ahora, ya estamos mirando pasajes para ir a Coppenaghe, seguramente vayamos del 6 de junio al 19 mas o menos....queriamos ver de ir a Barcelona tambien para ver la universidad, (me mandaron un mail hoy donde decia que el master empieza en septiembre 2008...mmm no llego!) asiq estoy en contacto con ellos a ver si vale la pena ir hasta alla o se puede coordinar por mail. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;PD: HACIENDO CLICK AQUI PUEDEN VER UN VIDEITO DEL PUB DONDE LABURO...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.furryfeet.tv/cheltenham/venue_video.php?id=43"&gt;http://www.furryfeet.tv/cheltenham/venue_video.php?id=43&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Un beso grande a todos!!

Podria subirlas al facebook por las dudas por si se pierde la camara o algo.... bueno mas adelante! Ya les habia mostrado algunas fotos de Bishops Cleeve...aca van algunas otras para que vean los alrededores. Estamos en el medio del &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBclS43Yw9I/AAAAAAAAAEk/8hIAAotO_oo/s1600-h/038.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194661701627724754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBclS43Yw9I/AAAAAAAAAEk/8hIAAotO_oo/s200/038.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;campo, rodeados de colinas y arroyos. Salimos un dia con Brad con el jeep....porque tenemos jeep que no es un mega 4x4 pero se la banca y nos fuimos a recorrer los &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;cotswold&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;Super lindo!! manejamos arriba de las colinas donde teniamos una vista de todas las aldeas y pueblos de los alrededores, manejamos hasta un lugar que se llama &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stow in the Wold&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/em&gt; no sabemos que quiere decir pero parecia sacado de un cuento! Con casitas chiquitas con puertitas diminutas...juro que los hobbits viven aca! Ese pueblo recibe mucho turismo americano y de adento de UK asiq habian muchos bed and breakfast y hasta un hostel!! jajajajaajaja.

Los paisajes son super lindos, colinas verdes y amarillas con las &lt;em&gt;Poppy flowers, &lt;/em&gt;que parecen una alfombra. Ovejas por todos lados, conejitos que se cruzan por la ruta, gente andando a caballo....tipo the sound of music! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Aca les paso algunas fotos para que vean!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194661130397074370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBckxo3Yw8I/AAAAAAAAAEc/u-q2rAUUMwc/s320/032.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194662509081576418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBcmB43Yw-I/AAAAAAAAAEs/u0oQB6Nueas/s320/040.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194664076744639490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBcndI3YxAI/AAAAAAAAAE8/8ZDFdt0zbAY/s320/047.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194665051702215698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBcoV43YxBI/AAAAAAAAAFE/3uGEWBNUibI/s320/051.JPG" border="0" /&gt;                               &lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Solo para adelante! me encanto para atras ni para tomar impulso&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-6610407116052734925?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/6610407116052734925/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=6610407116052734925' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6610407116052734925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6610407116052734925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/04/walking-countryside.html' title='Walking the countryside...'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SBcmrY3Yw_I/AAAAAAAAAE0/a6fVRm4znic/s72-c/037.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-4672237802551282592</id><published>2008-04-28T12:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T20:21:51.711-08:00</updated><title type='text'>London calling....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;Hola!!!!

Ya hace casi una semana que estoy y muchas cosas pasaron...bueno muchas no pero algunas! Llegue muy bien, sin demoras y estaba Brad esperando super contento! Manejamos hasta Bishops Cleeve que queda a dos horas de Londres. Ibamos a pasar almorazar por Windsor, donde esta el castillo pero la verdad que estaba bastante cansada y ya queria llegar! Paramos igual por un pub de camino a la casa, Air Balloon, para tomar una pinta de cerveza, mi primer pub 100% ingles!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Llegamos a la casa y nos esperaban Jenny y Kevin los papas de Brad con una lasagna riquisima y vino. La verdad son unos divinos.  Tuve una gran bienvenida! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;El clima.....mmm....bueno podria ser peor la verdad!!! Desde que llegue llovio todos los dias pero no todo el dia, y la mayoria del tiempo era una lluviecita leve, VI EL SOL!!! mentira que no sale!!! Hoy granizaba con sol!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Estos primeros dias aca fueron de adapatacion....al clima, al pueblo y los POUNDS!! que horror!!! ya que se que NO hay que hacer la conversion porque deprime....literalmente he derramado una lagrima cuando con horror me percate que en una noche se me habian ido de la mano como agua y con tan solo, 4 cervezas y un  taxi que dieran cuenta de ellos, 189 pesos. Un desproposito. Tuve un duro despertar al tipo de cambio pero bueno, es lo que hay! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SAO8Y8m5IGI/AAAAAAAAAAs/oIor6tf2uwo/s1600-h/air+balloon+pub.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189198332433080418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SAO8Y8m5IGI/AAAAAAAAAAs/oIor6tf2uwo/s400/air+balloon+pub.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Bishops Cleeve es super lindo. Es un "village" que existe desde el Siglo VIII y alguno de los edificios mas antiguos que todavia siguen en pie son del Sigop XVII y XVIII, algunos de ellos como la Iglesia St. Michaels siguen en pie y son centrales en el pueblo. Las callecitas son super lindas, a veces cuando caminas no te cruzas con NADIE, parece sacado de una pelicula! hay una callecita con el carnicero, el correo, la farmacia, la verduleria y ahora pusieron un Tesco enorme, como si fuera un carrefour que desentona! Esta todo el village rodeado de Cleeve Hill, unas colinas muy lindas y el punto mas alto de los Cotswold (las colinas del centro oeste de Inglaterra)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;The Air Balloon Pub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Desde que llegue camine por las calles de la aldea, y fuimos al Centro de Cheltenham que vendria a ser la ciudad mas cercana de Cleeve, ahi es donde trabaja Brad en 2 Pubs, The Railway y The Vine, no saque fotos todavia pero ya voy a sacar! La gente que trabaja con el es divina, y en cheltenham si hay mas cosas para hacer hay una peatonal muy linda con muchos cafes, ya me hice medio habitue de Caffe Rouge, donde hay mozos que hablan espaniol!!! (perdon no hay enie!) todavia no hable con ninguno pero denme tiempo!! Me voy ahi a leer la guia de la INDIA porque en los Pubs no puedo porque todavia no saben que se va! Cuanto mas leo mas me emociono!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Bueno de momento es todo lo que hay para contar por aca!!! Las cosas van muy bien y ya el viernes nos vamos para Londres, Brad se vuelve el lunes y yo me quedo hasta el 27 con Sofi!!! que divertidooooo!!!! Aca es super lindo, pero devuelvanme a una ciudad!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189203980315074674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SAPBhsm5IHI/AAAAAAAAAA0/czOdNojWJ5w/s320/StMichael.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Esta es una foto de &lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;St. Michael &amp;amp; All Angels Church&lt;/span&gt;, esta a 5 minutos caminando desde la casa donde vivimos en 105 Station Road. Para ir al super el camino mas corto es pasar por el medio y atravesar el cementerio que esta en el jardin de la iglesia....me dio un poco de impresion el primer dia pero en verdad es lindo!! es super raro ver la iglesia en el medio con el cementerio al lado.....wow....todavia no caigo donde estoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;Hasta la proxima entrada!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffff66;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8307051294199211779-6379836002445462432?l=namastenotdead.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/feeds/6379836002445462432/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8307051294199211779&amp;postID=6379836002445462432' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6379836002445462432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8307051294199211779/posts/default/6379836002445462432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://namastenotdead.blogspot.com/2008/04/desde-bishops-cleeve.html' title='Desde Bishops Cleeve!!!'/><author><name>Martina Chalian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015732177514292404</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SUHV0pb_HgI/AAAAAAAAA5k/JGwlHysu8j0/S220/kumily,kochi+y+goa+173.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/SAO6B8m5IFI/AAAAAAAAAAk/J_zceGZxwZY/s72-c/panoramica+bishops+cleeve.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307051294199211779.post-3886349794670909332</id><published>2008-04-03T18:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T20:21:52.727-08:00</updated><title type='text'>3/4 Primer Entrada</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/R_WL3_XSDjI/AAAAAAAAAAM/LPXbaMGfhcg/s1600-h/mapa+namaste.GIF"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185204340005146162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k1Qr3zKS-og/R_WL3_XSDjI/AAAAAAAAAAM/LPXbaMGfhcg/s400/mapa+namaste.GIF" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;Este es el itinerario del viaje al dia de hoy!
