no more india

so i'm just about done in india. it's been different. if i do come back, i'll be going to the south and i'll be bringing more people with me. and a gun. no. no guns.

i've been round rajasthan for the past 7 days with my driver called anwar. he was a very nice man. was in the sense that i'll probably never see him again. he's not dead. travelling from town to town was an experience. indian roads are something else. i was easily entertained on 6 hour journeys just by the surrounding chaos that follows you everywhere you go. dogs (wild/domestic/dead), camels (herd of/strangely happy), sheep (flock of), cows (random/dead), buffalo (herd of), elephants (singular/grey), mules (herd of/demoralised), goats (mental looking), tortoises (mostly dead) and monkeys (angry) litter the roads. there are also no rules on indian roads. you can drive anywhere, in any direction as long as you use your horn. it's brilliant. the places i visited were:

Mumbawa - not much there

Pushkar - got caught up in the Ganesh elegod festival and was forced to dance by locals. felt better later on when the drowned the elegod in the lake. that'll learn him. drank a dodgy milkshake was out of action all the second day. missed the camel safari. downer.

Jaipur - saw the pink city and a fort (there are too many forts they should really knock some down)

it rained so i didn't go on an elephant. thinking about it the animals let me down on that trip. i have punched my fair share of cows since arriving here though. you've got to get your fill when the RSPCA aren't in town.

Agra - saw the taj mahal. it's pretty good. it's no st james park though. WHATS GOING ON WITH KEEGAN! I'll save that rant for another day.

so......i'm back in Delhi. it's even more of a party town after those bombs went off. people aren't happy. i blame jesus. i think i'm going to find the gandhi museum this afternoon then pack my bags for china. i'm meeting my friend matt in beijing. it should be special.
