\"I used quotations because I’m 99% sure that these are not real monks. \" but it\'s true, a lot of monks are professional monks, that means being a monk is their job. just like ordinary 9-5 working class people. after work, they just hang up their monk\'s cloth, and go out eating, drinking, dating. no kidding, some monks have wife and child. (that\'s not allowed in this part of the world, except in Japan). of course, some old monks are real, but not those young professional monks (just for the salary, and if they got good pay, they will become a bartender overnight)

As cold as it has been there, it surprised me there were any blossoms! Of course, I was not surprised that Pete was riding another animal!

Glad I could help!
I have over 200 students and can't imagine not taking their photos with their names. Though, I usually write the names on the chalkboard instead because then I don't need to worry about being able to read their writing! It certainly does make things easier!

Kudos to you for keeping as cool as you did and for getting this resolved. Was the mistake made by the people who booked your entire India trip or did you book your flights separately?

So glad you got to take in a movie at the theater! When I was in Jaipur it was a highlight for me as well. I agree that there were a lot of monkeys there. There\'s actually a monkey palace outside of the city a bit and a lot of people feed them.
