Rickshaws, elephants, and Leppers, OH MY!
From Merry go round' the World in Mumbai, India on Sep 20 '06
Hey everyone!!
Well India is insane, but good. Just when you think your head is going to POP from so much going on then something beautiful happens.
Let me tell you... riding in a rickshaw is INSANE!! It's this little 3 wheeler that zips about Mumbai with no regard. In fact no automobiles here have any regard, or any rules. Left and right people are cutting eachother off, almost hitting everything, zipping onto other lanes, and then flipping about sharply. All of this in a small vehicle with no doors, my Mom would have 3 heart attacks within one block.
I saw my first elephant, it was really neat! I was walking homeand I turned a corner then BAM, Elephant, right in front of me. There is just so much going on everywhere. It is hard to explain, imagine New York if there was a Nuclear fallout. People on the street, beggers, an array of smells ranging from urine to flowers, and people praying everywhere.
Behind my school there is a temple, so there are always bells ringing, people chanting, and incense wafting into my room. It's good for atmosphere.

I had a conversation with a spider the other day. It went like this:
Me- Okay spider, we compromise. You are welcome to stay in my room, you just keep to your corner and stay away from my bed.
Spider- I'm a spider, I don't make deals.
Me- Come on man, I'll even leave the window open all the time so that you get some delicous grub

Spider- Tempting... but I'm a spider. I can't even talk, let alone make deals
Me- Fine! Atleast consider it?
Spider- _______________
When I got back he was in my bed, bastard.

Anyway India is an adventure. These pictures are a mix still and I will keep loading as fast as I can. As it turns out an ADCOM is slower than a Samtron, but better than nothing eh?
Sorry if these pictures are confusing, these are mostly Paris. There are more from India in the past entry
LOVE LOVE LOVE
