shit, mainly bovine or canine, but sometimes human incense coal being burned auto exhaust onions, curry, ginger, and other spices green! People have been generally very friendly, especially wanting to practice their English or—for whatever strange reason—wanting to have their picture taken with you. On the way back from Taj Mahal, on the outskirts of Delhi, we saw literally dozens of uncompleted high rise luxury apartment buildings. Tens of thousands would be housed in them (sort of like Hong Kong). But what was so strange was the fact that they were mainly concrete shells, 20 or 30 stories high. I did see a sign that advertised buying an apartment, so I wonder if a certain number of sales must be made—50%? 75%? 90%?—before they move toward completion. Dan said they looked rather dystopian and I agreed. Comments are closed.
