Back to Jaipur, a day of shopping and sight seeing in this congested polluted chaotic city. Surprisingly I was able to nevigate to all the spots I planned to visit. I found out the cruel reality that I got ripped off in every item I bought on the first day. One was way out of range! Anyway, this is part of traveling I guess.
I met Zac and Braber from USA at the hotel. We recognize each other from Agra. Since this route I'm following is a very popular route for tourists, it is very likely you bump into the same people along the way. I thought I was having a tough time, but they seem to have an even tougher time. Their faces seem exhausted, and they both have been sick all week. Having heard their story, I consider myself very lucky.
Just came back from my first Indian massage. It was a proper massage. About 15 Cdn for an hour. The room was dark and smelled like Chinese medicine. The floor was sticky. Waiting me was a middle age Indian man. He covered me with hot Indian oil, and massaged me from shoulder to tow, front to back. And it ended with a wash with perfumed hot water. Feel good. I wonder if I smell like an Indian now.
I'll be taking another train to Pushkar tomorrow morning, and am expected to see a sea of camals as this week is the camal fest there, and it is where Lucy warned me there will be way too many people.
haha... "It was a proper massage. " =D
