Sunrise at Ganges

Selv etter tre uker i India, får jeg fortsatt små kultursjokk. Den hellige elva Ganges er både blant det vakreste og værste jeg har opplevd foreløbig. Elven er sterkt infisert, og vi ble alle frarådet å bade i den. De lokale derimot tok både morrabadet, klesvasken og helgevasken i vannet. Forurensning hadde lagt en konstant dis over byen, slik at du aldri fikk sett himmelen. Men det værste var luktene. En intens mur av fuktig søppel var det første som møtte meg da jeg kom av toget. Lukten borret seg inn i nesen, og ble værende der under hele oppholdet. Etter hvert gikk det opp for meg at lukten kom av de flere hundre begravelsessermoniene som ble holdt hver kveld.

Etter tre uker i India i 45 grader var jeg veldig sliten på dette tidspunktet, og det var nok mye av grunnen til at det var så tøft for meg. Varanasi var siste stopp før jeg skulle tilbake til Delhi, og deretter fly ut av landet.

Even after three weeks in India, the culture shocks me. Visiting the holy river Ganges in Varanasi is both the worst and the best experience I have from India. The heat, the smells, and all the dead bodies made me a bit uncomfortable- but the smiling people, the good food, and the colorful streets made up for it all.

Also called Jungarh Fort, In Bikaner, Rajhastan. 

We were traveling in India in the end of May- also know as the "Are-you-crazy?-season". The nice part was that it wasn't a lot of other foreigners, so the typical tourist spots were almost empty. The bad thing was that it's REALLY freakin' hot at that time. Like crazy 45* C in the shadow and no breeze at all! 

After traveling some places now I'm quiet used to hostels promoting "We have hot water in the shower". Here in India they operated with "We have cold water!"

Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, is listed as one of the "new" seven wonders of the world. The building are by far the most incredible I've ever seen.

Walked barefoot in a temple with more than 20,000 rats? Check
Last June when I was doing my "around the world trip" I spent almost a month in India. Karni Mata Temple in Bikaner, Rajasthan, was one of the places I went to see. It was a really impressive experience. Not only because of all the rats, but also because of how people interacted with the rats. Some laying on the floor, feeding them, others sitting in the corners, relaxing.
