Kolkata

Kolkata is the second largest city in India and the largest of West Bengal.



My "Welcome to India moment.."



One of the problems plaguing India.



Around Kolkata.



I love the classic taxi style in India. It felt as though time has stopped.















A taste of an Indian train station.






"I had the complete train experience of India last night. Another passenger, a man, tried to squeezed his way onto my bed. I hesitated at first and just let him sat at the edge of the bed. Then he tried to get comfortable and that was when I drew the line. Where does it end when it comes to kindness? I shoed him away and then went back to sleep. I felt bad for a moment, but then got over it. It was the last time I took a Sleeper Class (SL).....
So far India has been tough. Besides Darjeeling, I find it difficult to say that I like this place and would visit it again....Hopefully, my attitude towards it will change as I explore more of this intricate culture."
