Lycee Lassi and Jalebee Cartel

Saw a couple of bands play last night. They were great. Both had DJs, guitar and drums - my kind of music. Jalebee Cartel is from Delhi and Lychee Lassi from Berlin. The show was outside and at the end the two bands jammed together. At that point, people started dancing in the front.

Mumbai: Sasson docks and colonial architecture

One of my favorite parts of Mumbai are the Gothic Victorian style buildings that abound the southern part. The Lonely Planet has a walking tour, which we followed part of and it can be combined with a trip to Sasson docks, a bustling fishing port, and Marine drive. To finish off, climb up the intercontinental hotel for a view of Marine drive at night when the Queen's necklace is all lit up. Southern part of Marine drive There was so much happening at the Sassoon docks: boats being loaded with ice or unloaded of fish, fish being sorted, haircuts, games, children coming from school, and ice being crushed. It was cool to be in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Ice being crushed Loading ice onto the fishing boats Taking a pause from loading ice onto the boat Getting a haircut on the docks Fixing the fishing nets Squid being tossed off the boat Lady strikes a pose Lunch time on the fishing boat Love the brightly colored trucks ...

Vizag: clean city by the sea

Visakhapatnam (or Vizag) wasn't on the radar. It is one of the cleanest places we'd been India. I had no idea it was a city in South East India or how to pronounce it. Only learned it existed because when we tried to get our boarding passes in the airport in Sri Lanka to come to India we needed to show an outbound flight. Walking across the boarder to Myanmar wasn't accepted. Next time will remember to book on a site that allows cancellation after 24 hours, but in the early morning panic that didn't happen. Then it turned out to be overly complicated and expensive to cross overland from India to Myanmar, so we decided to use the flights to Kuala Lumpur and come in from the South. Vizag was now in the itinerary. Get there We took a train from Puri to Khurda junction. And then transfered to a sleeper to Vizag. There is a waiting room in Khurda upstairs to charge phones and sit. Eat, drink, sleep - Sree residency was a great spot to sleep. It was cheaper online. G...

Khajuraho: titilating tantric temples

While the Khajuraho temples are known for erotic sculpture, the sculptures depicting sexual positions represent only about 10% of all sculpture. Also, from what I can tell they aren't tantric in the pure sense of ancient tantrik scripture, but I didn't want to give up of the title. At the end of the day, the erotic sculptures to be the main draw as it's not something you find everyday and it's fascinating to see what was being produced over 1000 years ago in India as compared to many other parts of the world. T here were giggles erupting from the Korean women and I was wondering what their guide was telling them. A security guard was prompting a guy to stand brazenly in front of the upside-down pose. A dashing group in bright saris and white pajama floating through the temples. These were the sights in a day spent visiting the temples in Khajuraho. Get there There is a night train from Delhi leaving at 20.20 and arriving at 6.30 that runs 3 times per week. We w...
