So, welcome to Khajuraho.. where i am almost out of room on my camera b/c there are 22 temples here and they all have hundreds if not thousands of little intricate details.. and the temple "guards" are more than eager to point out what they think everyone has come to see, which is, amidst the hundreds of other scenes depicting normal village life, processions, hunting parties, other sorts of parties, etc. there are the occasional "kama sutra" images. one in particular seemed quite enthusiastic to show us "here horse with woman" "here woman with pig" "here horse with man" etc etc. i have pictures of most of these so i'll demonstrate later..
i need to find a place to unload all these pictures but unfortunately that would mean 3 CD-R and i don't feel like buying and/or carrying 3 when i could instead find place that makes DVDs and make my life much simpler. sooo..
Here we've been mainly hanging out in Papan's "brother"'s house where we eat, drink, hang out.. in between visiting temples and waterfalls and other assorted tourist attractions. tourists seem to come here in throngs.. massive groups of french or korean or what-have-you.. and therefore all the locals if they want to make money learn languages.. that's why papan knows 7 (japanese, korean, french, spanish, italian, english, hindi). and they guide these massive tour groups around the temples which are world famous / infamous..
anyhow diwali's coming soon.. the 9th Nov. is the big party and they've bought me a khoda pyjama outfit (like what Gandhi wore apparently). After that i'm on my own again which will be nice and not nice at the same time.. mostly b/c i'm going to Varanasi for a couple days and from what i hear it's a vicious city to take on. but Mumbai and Delhi were ok so i should be allright..
I feel completely like i'm at the halfway.. Denouement.. And now what to do..? except see what happens.. so until next time..
