Crispy Pata
That was funny, great way to compare yourself to crispy pata...But delicious nonetheless, right?

Enjoy your stay... mabuhay
Im smiling while reading your journal. It seems you are enjoying your stay in my home country. I miss the Philippines after leaving the country in 2005 for further postgrad studies in the UK. Im sure you will enjoy your trip to Corregidor which will provide you the our past during the war. Keep sharing your Philipine trip!

That was nice
You have no idea of how one small act of kindness (bringing shrimp to Ross) can multiply a hundredfold. You are wonderful Ambassadors for your country! Too bad there aren't more vacationers like you! -A.T.

Tips
Hey. Nice blog. Off to Ranakpur myself in a couple of days. I'd just like to say don't get your hopes down. It's not always about money. I've been to many places poorer than Ranakpur, and don't get asked for money, such as for photos or help. It's simply down to the history of the interaction of the region between tourists and locals. By giving people money, i.e. for taking a photo of them, only makes them think they can do it again to the next tourist. And so the situation goes on sadly. Asking for money is strangely not always about poverty. Mayrad :)

Ashamed to call myself an Indian.
Sorry to hear about your terrible experience in Rajasthan and hope you never face anyone like that ever again in India or anywhere else. I really feel ashamed to call myself an Indian after what you described here and feel sorry for you about the pervert who tried to act funny with you. Maybe you should have reported him to the police if possible. I know that some instances like this can put anyone off from the other good things that India has to offer but then if there are such instances then all the good things of the world would be useless in front of such incidences. Hope you have not let that incident affect you too much and just let bygones be bygones. Hope you have a nice trip ahead and enjoy your journey wherever you go now!!! Take care and enjoy India!!! Cheers, Aadil.

but dont let's forget...
that his brother/uncle etc probably owned the alternative place he took you to. As a woman alone I visited Rajasthan and had no sense of danger AT ALL. Maybe that is because I live in South Africa - but seriously, I felt very safe in India, especially out of the big towns of Mumbai and Delhi.

So glad to hear you're having fun!
Shannon, Thanks for all the lovely updates -- they are fascinating! I cannot wait to see your and Alli's photos. And hear all of your stories first hand. I'm still in awe that they had elephants in the roads, for example. :-) Keep having fun, and be safe! Later, Em
