more glorious india...

Well I have a few minutes while I am waiting for my photos to upload onto the computer so I will write a wee little blog!! I have been in india for 7 weeks now and it has been so amazing, my love affair with India continues!!! I am now in pushkar studying jewellery making or perhaps I am mastering the art of money spending ;) I took a 37 hour train from Kolkata all the way to Ajmer, just outside of Pushkar, the journey was 10 hours longer than expected and because of the delay Sivan and I were foodless, aside from Parle g cookies, for one full day!!!! When you combine Megan, no sleep and no food...what do you get?? I tell you 'the bitch was back' Cambodia style (perhaps muffy is the only one who has ever experienced this) Actually it wasnt that bad, it was my most interesting train ride in india...lady boys demanding money for luck, countless crazy people...dressed as monkeys barking like dogs, beggars hitting us with sticks (I hit back), tabla and sitar players joining us in our seats/beds (for money of course)and of course the infamous chai sellers!!! What an adventure it was!!! I spent last night driving around on the back of a motorcycle in the desert under the amazing stars, it was bliss!!!! another one of my love affairs since I have been travelling....riding on a bike...along with bollywood movies!!! I have a new collection coming home with me!!! There are so many more stories, but in india it this amazing country full of heart, a country that everyone should visit one day....I am going to challo now, xxmegs
