I’m back from India!

But before I start bla-di-bla-ing about my fabulous trip, I have to set things straight! So... HaPpY NeW YeAr everyone!!! hehehehehe....

Holland was great, X-mas was great, and not forget to mention the dinners and booze were GREAT!! Too bad there was no snow...

Ok, enough about that. Because greater things have happened. For the people who didn’t know: I was in India :D !! Invited by Dhee and San to a real Indian wedding in Delhi. Rakhee’s wedding (Dhee’s sis) took almost a week, and we extended our trip for 1 more week, to visit Jaipur (Pink city) and Agra (Taj Mahal).

I cannot explain what I have been through. All the impressions!!!! I felt like Santa Claus. On prozac. In Disney world!!!!!!!

The wedding...


The temples…


The people...


The Gods...


The saree's...


Dhee's family... (especially this cheeky monkey)…



India is amaaaaazing… I was surprised about the similarities with Mexico! The way people live, how they prepare their food, the colours, the environment, how they drive (oh my God!) and honk (massive migraine attack!!), how welcoming and sociable!! The only major difference is the space in the big city (India has more!!). And the fact that India has Holy cows, which are living in the streets together with the ox and the buffalo. Then there are camels and elephants which help to transport veggies and humans. And the monkeys are just waiting for a load of bananas or a tourist who doesn’t pay attention to their own food or bag… Life is one (or two) pace(s) slower… less tense and much more enjoyable!

The wedding is a chain of ceremonies, starting early morning and ending five days later! It’s non-stop getting dressed, eating food, praying, getting changed in a prettier dress, eat some more, rest a bit, meet more people, maybe eat a bit, and try to hold your wee because how the hell are you gonna prevent peeing all over your beautiful saree (the toilet is a hole in the floor…do I need to say more)? Eat a bit and sleep. Next day the same again. And again the day after. And again after that!!

You see...I need a rest now...or some food... ;)

Continued tomorrow!
