I'll share you a story
Thanks for this blog entry. Nice to read about his site I haven't heard of before. You wrote about the man who lost his parents. That reminds me of a documentary I saw a few years back. I'll share that story with you. The story starts in India about 25 years before they started shooting the documentary. A little boy lived with his family in a small village. His mother one day brought the boy to the town for some shopping. The boy wandered off because he was curious. He came to the train station and saw people going on and off the trains. The boy entered a train and it left the town. The boy then decided to leave the train at the next station and take a train back. However, he took a train going some other direction. He tried to take yet another train but again failed to return to the town where his journey started. After several hours he was picked up and handed over to the police. They tried to figure out who he was and where he was from but they failed. The boy ended up in an orphanage from where he was later adopted and ended up in Sweden. After 20 years or so he returned to India and made an attempt to locate his parents but failed. A few years later he tried again, this time with a plan, and he also brought a camera team to record everything. He contacted an investigator who helped him in his attempt to find his parents. The investigator started with a map and time tables for trains. He could not retrace the route the little boy took but at least he was able to exclude some parts of India. The investigator read through the original investigation from when the boy was found and some details the boy told about the village where he lived made the investigator exclude a few regions more. Next step the investigator took was to have him eat various kinds of food typical for each region. When he tried one dish he suddenly says "I have eaten this before. It was a very long time ago but I have eaten this before". The investigator explained that the food he had just tried was very specific for a particular region and it is not eaten anywhere else in India. They now traveled to that region. They went from village to village and told the story of the boy who 25 years earlier disappeared when he visited the town with his mother. In one village a man said "I have heard this story before. I know in which village the mother of the boy lives". They went to the village and they found his mother... /Ake

World Heritage Sites
They are always worth the visit. Love those circular boats and the children are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the story about the young man's parents who passed. Sad but... cultural differences are important. I'm sure it iwll work out for him. Too bad and uncle can't step in to assist.
