COCONUTS FOR BREAKFAST. YES.
I LOVE RIDING THROUGH THESE STREETS BUMPING AROUND THE ROCKIEST ROADS IN TUK TUKS, DODGING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, PEOPLE, COWS, PIGS, BOULDERS... WHATEVER. WAVING TO THE KIDS ALWAYS GETS THEM INTO A KIND OF HYSTERIA. THIS SCHOOL TUKBUS MAKES MY LIST OF COOLEST THINGS I SAW TODAY.
I HAD NO IDEA CAMELS WERE SUCH REGAL, PEACEFUL CREATURES UNTIL I MET THESE BEAUTIES. A LITTLE HEAD RUB WILL SCORE YOU A KISS. STRANGE A LITTLE GROSS AND WAY TOO CUTE.
BUMPING AROUND IN LUCKY'S TUK TUK TODAY WE TRAVERSED ACROSS THE BUMPIEST, ROCKIEST ROADS SOURCING FABRICS AND FEASTING ON A VISUAL SPECTACULAR OF THIS JEWEL THAT IS JAIPUR.
MY FAVORITE AREA TO PASS THROUGH IS CALLED 'THE UNTOUCHABLES', NAMELY SO DUE TO THE LOW LEVEL OF POVERTY CLASS THAT LIVE HERE. CHILDREN PLAY ALONGSIDE PIGS SHUFFLING THROUGH RUBBISH, OLD WOMEN SIT ON STOOPS WEARING BRIGHT SARIS, MEN SHAVE AND BATHE THEMSELVES ON THE SIDE STREETS... WHATEVER GOES IN THE SLUMS. I LOVE PEERING INTO THE DECAYING BUILDINGS TO CATCH A MOMENT OF LIFE IN THIS REALITY.
DEPTH, CHARACTER, POVERTY, BEAUTY, INTENSITY. THIS IS INDIA.
