Good news…I'm alive and well in the sweltering heat of India. :)
Since leaving Darjeeling, and a great little internet cafe with lightning fast broadband, I've been left adrift from quality internet connections and computers from which to upload my latest photos and stories.
I hope to get back on track in the next few days, with posts to include high altitude lakes and mountains in Sikkim, entry into the “real” India with a 34-hour pilgrimage to Bodhgaya, and later Sarnath outside the holy Hindu city of Varanasi (along the Ganges), the Taj Mahal, and more.

Looks like India really got you :)
Ever wondered if it would make sense to print a shirt with all the info these Indians just love and need to know like Name, where're you from, you Job and Job of you Father etc - I'm sure you know them all by now ;)
Have Fun!
P.s.: Stick to the vegetarian diet

I'd already gotten use to most of the intro questions from previous countries like Nepal and Indonesia, but being asked about my father, and having to write his name on forms, is a bit strange to me.
