More highs and lows
Time for another set... The good:
4) The Ganges river in Haridwar
5) The Ayurvedic massage I had in Udaipur
6) The Taj Palace hotel in Delhi. There are a few times in life when a luxury hotel is worthwhile. Arriving in India for the first time is one of them.
The bad:
4) Riverside jokers who come up to you uninvited and "guide" you through Hindu prayers, then ask to be paid. Pushkar has a similar problem. It's like the main function of these "priests" is to prevent tourists from having any kind of spiritual experience.
5) Cold hotel rooms. It's very cold here at night and in the mornings. Just a few minutes away, people are sleeping under pieces of cotton draped over sticks, that make the Vancouver's tent cities look high-tech. I can't imagine.
6) Disappointing restaurant food. Street food actually tastes better.
