Beware of the priests in the temple. I have just returned from Varanasi. It is my first visit to this place and I have been there to perform my father's last rights as per the Hindu tradition. The journey and the visit to the place is good, a little tiring though.
Inside the temple, when you visit different temples/Gods, the priests would ask to offer Rs50/100...etc. They simply ask for your name and gotra and would ask( I would say demand rather) to offer money. Just be careful and offer as much as you can. There is no compusion that you need to offer as much as they ask.
The money you offer would not go to the temple, but would go to the priest himself. This is from my personal experience.
Bogor Gardens I went to the Bogor Gardens in 2006. They are beautiful. Did you see the corpse lilly? It has a colossal blossom from time to time. It wasn't in bloom when we went but we took photos of many of the other plants in the gardens. I love the fruit stands outside the gardens.

The old house in Kochi Hi Stephan and Klaudia,
My name's is Leslie and I came across your blog quite accidentally. But the picture of the "old house" in this entry captured my imagination. It was my school, my ninth grade class to be exact. And here's a reply to your blog entry, a poem nothing else.. :-)
And reading your blog, I get a feeling you guys missed a lot of things in Kochi, perhaps because you would have stuck to the guide books and what the hoteliers say. I grew up there and though am living in Chennai on the east coast now, my heart is still in Kochi. But she is losing her charm... just because she is losing her people, replaced by hotels and businesses. Anyway do chek the poem and comment and hope next time you come to Kochi we can meet and maybe talk about it.
regards,
Leslie Xavier.

Thank yo so much After long time of your posting finally I came across to read you. I am a Burmese residing here in the Philippines and your writing brought me back to my country with all these feelings of pride, sad, and happiness. Thank you so much.
Very nice photoes and informative write up It was great to have a look at your blog. I wish you were in mandawa and Ramgarh and Mahansar in shekhawati too. Pl. have a look at the web www.shekhawatimandawahotels.com .
There is a guide book "The painted towns of Shekhawati" by Ilay Cooper. Stay at Hotel Chobdar Haveli Mandawa and make your holiday worth it. There is a lot more to Shekhawai.
