Ill be careful, fati, thanks :)


Ive already been in india once before for a month, but only south, hampi, goa and so on. It was incredible trip anyways, hampi in special, check it out!


As for beggars, its a tricky thing..  I also come from third world country so have faced this issue several times. One simply cannot stop and give something to every begging person as there are too many, you wouldnt ever stop. Also this by itself doesnt help in the end. I am also very aware of the 'exploitation of child beggars.


But on occasions I did give food, or at least eye contact, a smile and an unspoken good wish on the person. 


In india I was impressed how some of the poor begging women are actually beautiful, and dressed so nicely with the saris.


Its an incredible country, with all its contrasts, and the Himalayas have always been a dream. Each part of india seems to be quite unique, definitely worth a visit.  Rellik, its true a LOT of people said Rajasthan is incredible, but unfortunately its not in my plans for this time (another good reason to go back sometime hehe)..  Now im gonna focus on the Himalayas, treking around, and also spending a few days in Mcleod Ganj/Dharamsala, where the tibetan refugees and the dalai lama live.


Coatl, I did watch darjeeling limited, its the one with owen wilson right? I remember it being strange, but good, but unfortunately cant remember much (there was one very crazy unrelated beginning, wasnt there?)
