Yeah, I'm back home after a 29 day journey through India. It has been an incredible experience - learning India's culture and economics, meeting new people, eating the excellent food! Regretfully, I was not able to post up most of the pictures throughout the journey as Internet access was scarce. Coming home, I can finally post up the pics, when I found out I have way too many of them (830 in total). So what I've done is posted a small sample of them on facebook. Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1944&l=c8928&id=504722317 The photos are posted in chronogical orde [View Full Entry]

Hello! I'm now in Bodh Gaya, in the Indian state of Bihar (which is the poorest state). Just finished visiting the Maha Bodhi Mahavihara, where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment. Journey to Gaya station was quite an experience. Train was delayed by about 4 hours as the train in front of us had hit 3 men at full speed. Saw the 3 corpses, quite shocking. May the 3 men rest in peace. Anyhow, you will not be hearing from me the next 10 days as I will be attending a meditation course whereby I will not be allowed to contact the outside [View Full Entry]

Hi! I'm in Varanasi now, formerly also known as Benares. It's the place where the Hindus come to bathe in the Ganges River, and is the holiest of all Hindu Sites. Really dirty place, but it's an awesome experience. The alleyways are amazing, you can really get lost in them! And the number of touts and people trying to sell you stuff is just incredible! Bargaining skills are a definite must have over here. I'm quite happy that so far, I've been able to cut the price of my purchases by a factor of 3 at least. =) The river boat [View Full Entry]

Hello all! Just to let you know that I'm now in Chandigarh, staying with Japees and family - after spending a night in New Delhi. The experience so far has been excellent! So much to tell, so many photos for you to see! After 2 days of attempting to upload the photos onto a computer - I have succeeded! You can now view the photos in the upcoming journals. So far, I've been to 2 places - New Delhi and Chandigarh. Since the culture and experiences for the two cities are completely different, I will be writing my experiences for them [View Full Entry]

Alright, at this point in time of writing this entry, I am very awake and charged up despite it being 11.30pm. Why's that? Because in about 2 days time, I am about to go on a 1-month journey to India! WoOhOO!! Haha, you'd probably think I am crazy to have chosen to spend 29 days of my life in such a place. Why INDIA?!?! Well, here's my answer to you: 1) India is a cultural melting pot - you may think that all Indians are the same. If you do, you're absolutely wrong! Each part of India has its own unique [View Full Entry]
