I'm in Amritsar. The Golden Temple is very very cool. I've been to the India/Pakistani border to see the border closure shenanigans. It was fun for 5 min but then I got bored. I'm tired of India and just want to go home now. I finally had my first "India-melt down", yelling at one of the managers of my hotel because they charged me 25% more for the taxi-ride to the border than the other two passengers, plus the fact that the driver was trying to get baksheesh from me by pretending there was a parking fee. I'm not really upset about the money, 2 dollars here or there doesn't really make a difference, I am just tired of being lied to and ripped off. I hate dishonesty. Bleurg.

Hej Hanna!
ReplyDeleteSå roligt att läsa det Du skriver om, och alldeles särskilt om bröllopet. Du är så fint klädd i både det ena och det andra.
Här talas det mest om vaccinering och om att vi fram till igår haft 3,2 soltimmar i nov. månad. Regn och åter regn.Julskyltning har börjat komma upp lite varstans.
