sleep eat and move
food
Food, well, India is the only vegetarian friendly place in the world. Being a vegetarian, I finally find some place I can eat with dignity.
hotel
Hotels, not too bad, not too good. Hot water is a rare luxury.
transport
I found my ways through the jungles, desert, and mountains but not in the Indian cities. Traffic is totally chaotic, yet strangely efficient.
