What I enjoyed from India

- Tasty food (sometimes too spicy for me) but lovely
- People helping us when we were confused or lost
- Indian people asking for photos and making us feel like celebrities
- Nice hotels we could easily afford
- Funny and cute monkeys everywhere
- An express train with AC and meals included
- Very cheap train tickets. 2nd Second class tickets are great if you want to know what is to be in the middle of hundreds of people pushing in all directions.
- Music played by 2 guys in Jaipur with 2 snakes
- No need to worry about fashion. I wasn’t concerned of my appearance as I didn’t have many alternatives
- Walking near Tibetan monks
- Mc Leod Ganj has a beautiful mountain landscape with fog and cold weather and lots of rain
- Children smiling when we wanted to take photos
- Majestic temples decorated with plenty of colours, images and offerings
- Golden Temple in Amritsar: lovely music and ceremonial rites
- Using a filter bottle all the time gave us some peace of mind
- You definitely develop mental strength
- Standing in front of the Taj Mahal in a sunny day and seeing it later in the evening from the hotel
- “Lonely planet guide” was extremely useful
- Buddhist meditation retreat and holding silence for 9 days. There I had the chance to meet people from all over the world and it was amazing to see so many young people interested in Buddhism
- People in general are not aggressive when negotiating prices. They make fun of it always trying to take an advantage of you
- Music in general and musical videos are quite jolly
- Autorickshaws or tuk tuks are part of the adventure. Luckily we didn’t crash
- Getting a picture of Ganesha in Friendship’s Day from some friends we met in Matheran
- The way Indians move their heads to say yes was a bit confusing at the beginning
- Beautiful nature when going out to the countryside
- Visiting Acropolis branch in Mumbai and meeting some members there. I felt at home
- Getting wet sometimes because it was the rainy season
- Practising salsa many times with my boyfriend
- Horse riding in Matheran, including the 3 times the horse wanted to stand on 2 legs
- Shrines in houses, shops, streets, and everywhere. Religion is part of life
- I became more religious as I was praying almost all the time for our health and safety
- Visiting the official residence of the Dalai Lama and some other Tibetan temples
