general observations

I only had 128 emails waiting for me, which I call uncommon restraint.

So, yeah. I went to India for ten days, and it was incredible in almost every sense of the word. I saw everything on the roads: cars, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, rickshaws, horse carts, buffalo carts, ox carts, camels, cows, loose buffaloes, elephants, dogs...and only one bad accident.

I was enough of a tourist to take an elephant ride (I had to save the receipt, because it says "Item: Elephant, Quantity: 1"), and buy a sari which I will probably never have occasion to wear, and let people sell me things I wasn't dying to buy. (But it's a genuine ruby...)

These are things I didn't, or couldn't, take pictures of: ( Road conditions )

( Social conditions )

( Other stuff )
