Right now I am in
Khajuraho. I just went to see the famous "Kama Sutra temples" which
have lots of erotic carvings all over them. It was pretty cool and
reminded me a lot of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Tomorrow I think I will be
heading to a waterfall about 20k outside of the city. . .*by bicycle!*
Varanasi was also AMAZING. I wish I had my camera for more of the
time I was there. . .but I forgot it in Faridabad and it took a few days
for the Indian Post to get it to me. BUT it DID arrive!so now I can take lots and lots more pictures
for your viewing pleasure.
then. . .catching a bus to Satna and heading to Jalgaon to go to Ajanta caves.
From
there I'll probably being staying in Mumbai for a day or 2 with the
brother of the family I was living with in Faridabad.
No real desire to go to Mumbai, just as a rest point from trains.
From there I'm planning to go to Goa. . .for the beach party scene. . .which I
also could do without. . .but my cool Canadian friend is there
currently and I'm hoping to meet up with her if possible. Then I think I
will head along the coast of Kerala before heading inland towards
Mysore and Bangalore. . .AND THEN, we'll see what day it is. I was thinking I
might fly from Bangalore to Delhi (maybe squeeze in a trip to
Dharamsala??) and then Kathmandu (leaving March 10th, arriving in Japan
on March 11th).
I just sent word to the travel agent in Japan today,
My flight back home will be leaving Nagoya on March 16th at 12:00pm (or
something) and arriving (this is the important part) in
Toronto at 16:00pm on March 16th 2010
see you there?? heh
So currently, I am
running around, having a wicked time, talking to volunteer organizations
and networking and it's been going well, aside from Indian time causing all of my
appointments to get delayed, cancelled or. . .disappeared? and I met a
new friend in Varanasi. He's Japanese and he decided to come with me
from Varanasi to Mumbai, potentially Goa. So it's safer at least to not
be traveling alone.
