Malana, the strangest village I've ever visited.
Malana, India - dave: 1993-10-07
The trail to Malana was beautiful. Although picturesque, Malana is wierd. You must not touch anything in the village, not even the people. If you touch something, you are fined 1000 rupies. As far as I understand it, this is not a punitive fine. It is . . . more

Monkeys and traffic
Simla, India - dave: 1993-10-01
The bus let me off in Simla.

Child beggars, flies, and New Delhi
New Delhi, India - dave: 1993-09-19
I stepped out of the hotel this morning, and my senses were assaulted by so many sights, sounds, and smells. It is virtually indescribable, at least beyond my powers of description.
Beggars follow you for blocks. Children hold up fingerless . . . more
They say you will never forget your first night in India.
New Delhi, India - dave: 1993-09-18

The bus took off . . . more
Taj Mahal
Agra, India - thumbsup: 1993-03-06
This is the only thumbs up photo I took during my trip to India. I travelled in India for about 6 months. The guest thumb was a stander by, who really didn't understand what the heck I was doing (as many people don't understand this, wierd huh?). I thought . . . more
