You're almost home!
Wow! How time flies. I can't believe you are almost home again - what am I going to do with no more blogs to read or pictures to oogle??!! I think the tuna auction would have been fascinating - even if you can't understand the language, you probably could get the feel of excitement. Looking forward to talking to you once you are back on Canadian/Calgarian soil. Take care.

I remember flying from Delhi to Frankfurt once and oh my goodness! I had gotten so used to the noise, trash and dirt in Delhi I had to actually to get used to the open clean spaces... Great photography by the way!! Keep up the good work! We're reading you loud and clear.

Ahhh Tokyo :-)
Glad you guys had a great time in Tokyo - and luckily came across Senso-ji. It would have been a shame to have missed out on the experience. When you get to Mt Fuji I'd highly recommend climbing it overnight for the sunrise. You can get the bus from Shinjuku. Looking forward to those photos!

What a difference between cultures!
Guys - I'm glad Tokyo was a refreshing change from Delhi. Delhi, for me, was like overstrength whiskey, which is fine in occasional sips, but not for a refreshing drink. Who would have thought two countries and cultures could be so different? :-)

Holy Cow!
Glad to see that you enjoyed Varanasi! Have a great trip to Japan. We are typing this from Edmonton, having arrived an hour or so ago - the weather forecast is for patchy flurries overnight, but so far the temperature is above freezing. :-)

Help.
I am planning a trip to India. Varanasi is on my list, of course!!!! Can you tell me how you managed to go from place to another? Taxi? driver and a car? how? How much did you pay? Thank you. Graciela, from Argentina.

Hi I just had to write to say I love your photos. The one of the cow in Varanasi caught my eye and then I looked at and admired some more in your other blogs. Happy travelling. Kate

passports
stumbled across your page. Great story, but I'm not sure I agree with your last dig at the government. Imagine if the shoe were in the other foot and you were a citizen of an African passport needed a new passport in Canada :) Anyway. I'm writing this comment in response to an issue that's arising now with Canadian passports. They are introducing a new (biometric) passport, that's going to be more expensive and there will NOT be a 48 page option. If this affects you, you have until Nov 25th to participate in the public consultation process, which I encourage you to do. http://www.passportcanada.gc.ca/consultations/guide.aspx?lang=eng#3-2 In short: You may submit your input electronically at LFU.UFA@pptc.gc.ca. Alternatively, you may submit your input by mail, at the following address. Please include a return address.

Temples and Border Chaos
Excellent pictures for this entry, guys. I just wish there was some way to transmit the sound and energy of the kitchen as the staff were tossing the metal plates, and the dust, noise and crush of the Indian spectators at the border.

GDAY!!
Gday you two. Wow you really do get around dont you!? Amritsar is an amazing place hey? When we went there we originally got a bed in the pilgrims quarters (they had a separate section for westerners) but by the time the afternoon was up we had packed up our gear and were checked into the nearest 3 star! Too many reports of bed bugs and theft for our liking! Also I think that it is the hottest I have ever been at the border ceremony. That conctete ampetheatre is like a huge pizza oven! Any way. We hope you enjoy the rest of India. We sure did. Such a challenge but also so amazing and inspiring. Safe travels and dont take any shit off the locals when lining up for train tickets!! Dont let them push in! Lots of love from Me Cinz and our little man Alessio.

Wow! Stunning pictures. Any tips on camera settings used here? I see the long shutter speed for the moonlight shots, but how do you get such vivid colours in them all?!
