Jaipur, Rajasthan



Last night Mack and I went to the local theatre to see an indian film, 'Chak De India'. Mack neglected to inform me the entire film was in hindi, but it turned out to be twice as much fun trying to figure out what was going on. It was kind of 'Mighty Ducks/League of Their Own/Remember The Titans', but the funniest part was the cheering, booing and mid-film standing ovations for the various characters. The theatre itself was an incredible venue, made more special by management insisting that I be seated in the 'special guest' balcony viewing. Stephen 1-India 1

Cows rule in India. They have right of way in all situations (and you can't eat them here either!)


Jaipur is a shoppers delight, and the indian people are incredible, if not persiatnt salemen. Never before have I been so interested in buying a pashmina, rug or loose precious stone.
