We are walking back to our hotel from the world-class beauty of the Taj Mahal and as we turn to enter the narrow gateway into the courtyard we stop dead in our tracks, almost getting splattered by a waterfall of urine that is gushing out of a massive cow that is filling the entrance - ass pointed strategically towards all entering guests!
Settling in to what turned out to be a 32 hour train ride from Pune to Varanasi...getting to know the beautiful people seated with us in our section. All of a sudden CLAP! CLAP! Two huge shocking claps and a booming demand in Hindi (I think). We look to the aisle (a couple of feet away) to discover two very large transvestites/trans-sexual Indians threateningly demanding money from the Indian passengers. They didn't even look at us. The passengers quickly dig into their pockets and hand some over.
Don, walking down a street near an ashram...passing a man who quickly turns and says...Sir! Sir! Your ears Sir! My ears?? Your ears! The man runs over like lightening, hooks the top of one of Don's ears, and with a long thin metal instrument (with a little metal spoon on the end) sticks the instrument of shock into Don's ear and then pulls it out saying look! look! I can clean your ears for you! umm, No thanks.
haha. India. Crazy.
Love
