After 2.5 months we found that India can be quite amazing. India is a big country and you can spend there more than what we spent, this was just the tip of an iceberg.
What did we have in total?
The first shook of the main bazaar in Delhi…Smelly places to sleep in…. sometimes no Electricity… no hot water in some places….great views…..Buddhism course….a lot of horning from the cars and rikshas… Massage course…..Tibetan cooking course….long train rides… hassled on the streets… drinking chai… burning bodies… no wine… good meal for 2 in 10 shekels… cows on the streets…. Monkeis that are not afraid from you… squirrels… 10 people in a riksha… buses with open doors… traveling for hours in the bus and on the bus… pool in Pushkar… Commission…. Cheese burger which means vegetarian burger with cheese and without any meat…. 660cc beer bottles and no less… eating Paneer pakora, Paranta, chapatti, samosa and many more… eating Israeli breakfast with humos, warm potatoes, salad with cabbage and two eggs… meeting Tomer and Tamar without speaking with them in different places… running away from a running cows in a narrow street… eating with your hands from a leaf… making Israeli meals… buying toilet paper… requesting for “salt and PEPPER” and getting “salt and PAPER” (sometime even old news pappers)… Indian style toilets… no mirrors sometimes… ophir shaves his head… no clean sheets… meeting some good people and really thank them because there are not so many that will try to help you with out getting something back… the broken bridge on the way from Leh to Manali… meeting the Sikh gang from Mandi…. The dance of the Sikh… Being asked to be in the photos by Sikhs… hot springs… Ladakh festival… the first polo game we have been to… the golden temple and the imitated Indian golden temple… the Taj-Mahal… “Where going?” – being said by the riksha drivers and other people that think they can earn something from tourists…“Where from?”… playing cards and learning new games… meeting new people…

And maybe someday we will get back to all of this…
